Chris Jericho recently commented on why Tony Khan is pushing him in ROH. Fans have now reacted to those comments.
The Osho has been an influential part of AEW since the company's inception. He was the promotion's first-ever World Champion and has featured prominently for the past few years. During his time with the company, he also wrestled for their sister promotion ROH where he won the World Title twice. He is the current ROH World Champion. However, fans have questioned why Tony Khan has been pushing Jericho as ROH World Champion given his age.

During a recent interview with TV Insider, Jericho shed some light on this when he said that being a World Champion can help Tony Khan land a massive streaming deal for ROH:
"I think the fact Tony Khan put the title on me again is because Chris Jericho as the Ring of Honor World Champion, streaming platforms might pay more attention to it. I know Tony is working on that and has a couple of offers. I don’t know if they are offers he wants. I think he wants to try and expand those offers.”

Jim Cornette criticizes embarrassing moment in Chris Jericho's match
Chris Jericho faced Dax Harwood on the 11th January episode of AEW Collision. During the match, the ROH World Champion tried to hit Dax with his title but the latter was able to evade and slammed him to the mat. Jericho tried to shove the referee out of the way so that he could cheat to win. This move looked sloppy for a veteran like Jericho. In the end, the ROH Champion hit Dax with the title followed by the Judas Effect to win the match.
Jim Cornette took to social media to mock the embarrassing sequence that took place in the match:
"Can someone with experience in pro wrestling tell ME what was supposed to be going on here????"

It will be interesting to see how long Jericho will be able to hold onto the ROH World Title.
