#4 Chris Jericho's presence and his never-ending attempts to keep the buzz alive
Ad
Jericho
It goes without saying that Jericho being a part of AEW is one of the major reasons for the promotion drawing in fans in hordes. But having been a part of professional wrestling for a long while now, Jericho understands that no matter how big of a star you are, you need to constantly generate buzz among the audience.
During the promotion of Double Or Nothing, Jericho used to post videos on social media, bragging about how he is responsible for all of this. He went on to invade an indie show, where Kenny Omega took him out in front of a roaring crowd. It has been a while since then, but Jericho is still going strong with his attempts to create buzz.
Immediately after the tickets were sold, he claimed how he made it possible, and proceeded to bash AEW Superstar MJF for claiming to be the reason for the ticket sales. When a Superstar of the stature of Chris Jericho does his best to actively promote your product on social media, you're bound to sell out those tickets fast!

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
