"I'm not in AEW because I was a rebel. I'm with AEW because Vince went, 'go.' And then, when I went, he went, 'did you sign the contract?' I said, 'well, yeah.' He said, 'can you get out of it?' 'No! You told me to sign it!' But [Vince] had the opportunity to stop it like he did with [Scott Hall], which is very interesting to me because 23 years later, he made the same [mistake]. I love Vince,” said Chris Jericho.
Jericho also mentioned last year that he still talks to multiple WWE Superstars and even Vince McMahon from time to time.
“I talk to Kevin Owens, I still text Seth Rollins once in a while, couple of guys in NXT, Drake Maverick, Samoa Joe, Drew McIntyre - those types of guys. I talk to Edge from time to time. I talk to Vince from time to time," said Chris Jericho.
He also recently appeared on Stone Cold Steve Austin's Broken Skull Sessions on the WWE Network, which was a huge deal. Chris Jericho has played a massive part in putting All Elite Wrestling on the map and will continue to be an integral part of the promotion in the future.
