Chris Jericho Says Idea That AEW’s Roster Is Too Big Is A Misconception

AEW started their journey four years ago and built a stacked roster along the way. The current roster features the likes of CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, Adam Cole and Chris Jericho – who was the first major star Tony Khan signed in 2019. Many fans believe that AEW signed too many stars, but Chris Jericho disagrees.

The Wizard recently appeared on the Superstar Crossover podcast and addressed what he feels are misconceptions of the promotion’s roster size. Check out his comments below.

“Maybe the misconception is that we have too big of a roster. I mean it’s hard to get everybody on TV with only 3 hours a week but it’s important to have a big roster and to have a lot of variety and a lot of different guys on different levels.

“You’ve got vets like myself and CM Punk. Then, you’ve kind of got guys in their prime like Bryan Danielson and Kenny Omega, then you’ve got the up-and-comers like Daniel Garcia, Sammy Guevara, Darby Allin, and Jungle Boy.

“It’s really like a grade football team where you have different levels of what you need to have a successful team. That’s why our team has been so successful.”

Tony Khan believes AEW’s roster will be at its strongest after All Out as well. The AEW head honcho has promised to get the roster to its fullest strength after Sunday’s show. We’ll have to wait to find out.
