AEW President Tony Khan recently appeared on the Dan Le Batard Show. Khan discussed a number of topics during the interview, including ‘Le Champion’ Chris Jericho and just how important he has been to the company during his tenure.
“Jericho has been a great investment” Tony Khan began. “Chris Jericho is one of the all-time great wrestlers and still one of the great wrestlers today and also one of the greatest minds in wrestling.”
“In addition to being in some of the most famous matches in AEW like the Stadium Stampede or his title win over Hangman Page or defending the title against Cody Rhodes or losing the title to Jon Moxley, the Blood & Guts match, Chris has been in a lot of big matches in AEW” Khan continued.

“He’s also, with his mind, helped me organize AEW. He’s brought in great names, helped with story ideas. He’s one of the most valuable people in wrestling. I was very fortunate to be linked up with Chris,” Khan concluded.
Chris Jericho is currently scheduled to be taking on MJF at the All Out PPV from Chicago, Illinois on September 5. To get to the match, Jericho has to go through 5 ‘trials’ set by The Pinnacle leader.
