4 reasons WWE's Chris Jericho signed with AEW

#2 Proving he doesn't need WWE

The List of Jericho was part of Y2J's most recent return to WWE.

Chris Jericho's name is synonymous with WWE.

A multiple-time World Champion, Jericho has also held the United States, European and Tag Titles, and is a record-setting 9-time Intercontinental Champion in the company.

And despite his brief appearances on the indie scene and with New Japan, many consider these as just small projects that Y2J undergoes between stints in WWE.

Now signing with AEW as an exclusive contracted Superstar, Jericho has the chance to fully prove himself as someone who doesn't need the WWE to remain relevant in the minds of the fans.

AEW will be the first non-WWE company Jericho has been a full-time star with since WCW, and the Ayatollah of Rock and Rollah will certainly be aiming to prove why he has been a massive success everywhere he has been.
