News and Rumor Roundup: Former Universal Champion to debut soon, WWE was interested in signing a current champion, AEW's role in Edge being cleared

#1 Chris Jericho recently revealed that Warner execs were "super angry" with one AEW Dynamite segment

During a recent interview with Stephanie Chase, Chris Jericho commended AEW for not being afraid to take chances and not being worried about what came after. However, he did add that this had gotten them into hot water a couple of times.

On one of these occasions, where Jericho had briefly smoked a cigar during a segment, it had drawn the ire of higher-ups in WarnerMedia. Chris Jericho said that he'd ever heard that they were going to "pull the show" if All Elite Wrestling showed anyone smoking again:

"One of ‘em actually was when we beat up Dustin Rhodes when I was feuding with Cody [Rhodes] way back at the beginning and we beat him up in the parking lot and then as we left, I lit up a cigar and they did not like that. ‘No smoking allowed on the show.’ They were super, super angry about it. ‘No smoking allowed’ and I was like, ‘Really? Out of all the things, that’s what they’re mad at?’"

"But they were very adamant that they did not want any smoking on the show and if you do this again — I don’t know if this was actually ever used but the way it was told to me was like, ‘We’ll pull the show if you guys do this again’ so it’s like all right, I don’t need to be smoking," Jericho said. h/t - POST Wrestling
