Chris Jericho Reveals Other Songs AEW Attempted To License

In recent weeks, AEW have started to use more licensed music for their wrestlers’ entrance themes, including “Where Is My Mind” for Orange Cassidy and “Tarzan Boy” for Jungle Boy.

Former AEW Champion Chris Jericho, who also uses his song “Judas” as his entrance music, recently spoke with the Two Man Power Trip Of Wrestling podcast, where he revealed which other songs AEW attempted to license.

Jericho said:

“We actually tried to get ‘Back In Black’ for our return promo after we attacked The Pinnacle in our dressing room, and they wouldn’t even give us the time of day. There’s been other ones. We wanted Van Halen, right after Eddie died, we wanted to use ‘Running With the Devil’, they came back with ‘$500,000’. Well that’s just a polite way of saying ‘no f*cking way.’ AC/DC didn’t even come back with that. Then I see them on an Applebee’s commercial using ‘Back In Black’, so I guess they’re fans of the baby back ribs or something like that. I thought the whole concept of Back In Black fit. It’s a saying that everybody knows. It rolls off the tongue, and it fits the mindset of what we’re doing. We’re coming back more focused, serious, and darker. That’s kind of how it’s been throughout this whole return.”

Jericho will face Shawn Spears on next week’s (July 21) edition of AEW Dynamite in the first of his “Labours of Jericho”.
