Chris Jericho and Tony Khan set the record straight about AEW travel accommodations

A Twitter user asked Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com if wrestlers have to pay for their hotel and rental car expenses. Meltzer responded with, “Overseas it’s taken care of. Domestic they still pay for cars and hotels.”

AEW President responded to Meltzer with the following message…

“That’s false Dave. Your statement’s true about other companies but doesn’t apply at all to AEW. AEW invests millions of dollars every year on very good quality hotel rooms + safe transport to take care of our wrestlers. It’s a huge investment I make on hotels weekly.”

Chris Jericho also commented on the matter…

“For the record, @aew is the ONLY North American wrestling company I’ve worked for that has paid for my transportation & hotels consistently for EVERY show I’ve worked for them, since 1996 when Paul E paid for my rooms at the crack hotel in Philly.”
