Chris Jericho Names Top Misconception Regarding AEW Roster

AEW

Chris Jericho was the major name signing for All Elite Wrestling when the company first opened back in 2019, adding the first major non-Elite name to the roster.

Since then, many former WWE stars and major signings have arrived in the company, such as Bryan Danielson, CM Punk, Adam Cole, Samoa Joe and Claudio Castagnoli.

Those names, along with many rising AEW stars like Daniel Garcia, Wheeler Yuta and Dante Martin, has led to a lot of fans believing that the AEW roster is too bloated.

Jericho spoke on the Superstar Crossover podcast about AEW’s roster size, and how he believes the belief that the roster is too big is one of the biggest misconceptions about the company.

He said:

“Maybe the misconception is that we have too big of a roster. I mean it’s hard to get everybody on TV with only 3 hours a week but it’s important to have a big roster and to have a lot of variety and a lot of different guys on different levels. You’ve got vets like myself and CM Punk. Then, you’ve kind of got guys in their prime like Bryan Danielson and Kenny Omega, then you’ve got the up-and-comers like Daniel Garcia, Sammy Guevara, Darby Allin, and Jungle Boy. It’s really like a grade football team where you have different levels of what you need to have a successful team. That’s why our team has been so successful.”

Jericho was victorious over Bryan Danielson at the AEW All Out pay-per-view last night in Chicago.
