According to report on variety.com, Chris Jericho has signed a contract extension with AEW that will keep him with the company through December of 2025. Jericho will have increased responsibilities behind the scenes such as being a producer and creative advisor as well as mentoring young talent.

Jericho said the following regarding his new deal…

“I guess the simple answer is ‘Why not?’” Jericho said. “Things have been going so well in the company, and I really do feel that this is my company. It’s tattooed on my heart, so to speak. I’ve been here since day one, and there’s really no reason not to be here continuing forward.”

“When AEW first started, I think basically it was Chris Jericho and a group of very talented people that might not have been as well known,” he continued. “Within three months that changed and now within three years, we’ve got at least a dozen, maybe two dozen, of our own homegrown stars that came into their own on AEW television.”
