AEW Replacement For Chris Jericho

AEW

Recently written off AEW TV, at least for the time being, Chris Jericho is reportedly set for a continued absence and may need an on-screen replacement.

While Jericho is currently touring with his band Fozzy and will seemingly return to AEW eventually, Tony Khan may be looking for a replacement in the interim, and possibly even long-term since Jericho has been honest about his openness to potentially return to WWE when his contract comes up later this year.

Here are six AEW stars who could replace Chris Jericho on TV.

6. Cope

While Cope – the former Edge – has been squarely framed as a babyface throughout his time in AEW so far, it doesn’t mean that there couldn’t been a heel version yet to be revealed.

Similarly to Chris Jericho, Cope’s ability to re-invent himself throughout his career has been well-documented.

Also carrying the mainstream recognition from his long tenure in WWE and other acting roles, Cope checks most of the same boxes for AEW that Jericho has in the past.

Recently commenting that he believes he will likely retire after his current contract – reportedly October 2026 – it would be great to see all the iterations of Cope in AEW, including evil heel faction leader.
