Chris Jericho asked about the rumors of him potentially leaving AEW for a WWE comeback
While speaking to Ringer Wrestling, Chris Jericho was asked about the rumors of him potentially leaving AEW for a WWE comeback. Here was Jericho’s response…
“Well, the interesting thing about fans—in this day and age, then form their own opinions and then it becomes law. Because the opinions spread, you know? So whatever people believed or didn’t believe, it’s like I was not ever a part of any of it. You know what I mean?
And I think the best part was there was so much speculation of what is he going to do that either way, with the tribalism of wrestling nowadays, there’d be people happy about it and not happy about it, and this is the worst thing ever and this is the best thing ever.
I’ve never really focused on that side of like, ‘This is terrible and it’s never going to work,’ because to me, anything can work and you always want to do your best to make it work.
And I focus on the people who are excited about things and the people who want to be entertained and want to be happy and want to have fun. That’s kind of the crowd that I focus on.
[Can you tell us whether or not you had some conversations with other places?] I never said the rumors became fact. I said that the rumors became fact to the fans, right? But yeah, I’ll leave that for another day. I like the idea of the intrigue.”
