Describing the unique stories being told at AEW, Jericho said, “They kind of reinvigorated my passion for pro wrestling,” adding, “I have no interest in ever wrestling anywhere again, and I love being where I am with AEW and seeing the company grow, and to still be able to perform it at a high level, and knowing that I have a lot of creative influence in those stories that I’m telling. It’s just a win-win.

He went on, “That’s kind of part of your responsibility when you have longevity in this business and wrestling is show business. Don’t ever deny that. So I just really kind of changed things over the last few years to get in better shape to be smarter in the ring and still be able to put on matches that some nights could be the best match in the show.”
