The majority of Jericho's wrestling career was spent with WWE. Jericho is now happier in AEW than he was in WWE due to the freedom he has with his character. Since Jericho joined AEW, he gained creative control of his character. He was even able to create his own faction, called The Inner Circle.

On an episode of Talk Is Jericho, Le Champion spoke about how happy he was to be with AEW and said he has no plans of returning to WWE.

“To me, it’s one of those things where I’m really glad that we were able to take a chance, and get this company off the ground and make it successful. And I have no intentions of ever going anywhere ever again. I like it here, I like working for the Khan family. And it’s been a lot of fun which, sometimes, it was not as fun in WWE. So it’s definitely a whole different vibe here.”
