Chris Jericho Comments On Recent AEW Backstage Issues

AEW

A top AEW star has commented on the recent backstage issues within the company.

All Elite Wrestling has experienced the most turmoil that it has ever faced as a promotion in recent weeks following the events of All Out 2022.

With several stars injured or suspended, the company has looked to its main event talent in Jon Moxley, Bryan Danielson and Chris Jericho to lead the locker room through this time.

Speaking with Conor Casey of ComicBook, Chris Jericho discussed being a locker room leader and what he has learned throughout the recent issues.

The first ever AEW World Champion noted that AEW is a growing company and there are always growing pains. He considers himself, Danielson and Moxley as AEW’s captains.

He said:

“And there’s always going to be little dips and dots in any company, in any locker room of any type of sport. It’s just the way it is. So you just deal with it. And the funny thing is, everyone’s got an opinion when they’re online and the social media and all that stuff. We know what’s really happening and we know, sure they’re things you got to fix, but the positivity in our company is off the charts and the optimism of where we’re going over the next few years is also off the charts. So it’s very exciting and the fact we just had our third year anniversary is huge because we never knew. We never knew if we would have one anniversary. So, there are growing pains, it’s just the way it is and that’s okay. That’s what I’m here for and we’re taking care of the issues and focusing more on the positives, which are 98% to two.”

Chris Jericho successfully retained the Ring of Honor World Championship against Bryan Danielson on the October 12 edition of AEW Dynamite after an assist from Daniel Garcia.
