4 reasons WWE's Chris Jericho signed with AEW

#1 A main event spot

Despite being one of the biggest Superstars in WWE, Chris Jericho is not someone many see as a main eventer.

Jericho last held a World Championship in 2010, and although his returns to the company over the past eight years have been entertaining, it's been clear the WWE were not going to push him as the top star.

In All Elite Wrestling though, Jericho will presumably be the biggest star on the roster when the promotion debuts, unless something truly massive changes that.

Fans can expect Jericho to certainly be one of the most featured stars of the new company, and is already a (very) favorite to be the first AEW Champion.

That all comes down to Jericho though, who may prefer leaving that spot open for younger talent.
