Chris Jericho Admits TNA Looked Bigger Than AEW at Bound for Glory

TNA’s Bound for Glory didn’t just deliver for fans—it turned some serious heads in the wrestling business. One of them? Chris Jericho.

Speaking on his Talk is Jericho podcast, the AEW original admitted that TNA looked like the number two wrestling company in the world during its Bound for Glory pay-per-view. Jericho didn’t sugarcoat anything, and even took a shot at his own company in the process.

“That crowd looked huge — it looked like a WWE-level crowd. The place was packed. I was watching this, and not saying anything out of line here, but comparing it to watching Dynamite when they were at the ECW Arena, which looked like a Tony Candello taping — sorry, it did. You guys, TNA, looked like the second biggest company in the world, and that was amazing.”

Jericho doubled down by praising the production and overall atmosphere, calling it so polished it felt like WWE’s biggest annual show.

“The presentation was incredible. Just talk about the crowd — and you’ve all watched the match back — it looked like a WrestleMania. It really did.”

This isn’t the first time someone’s suggested that TNA is on the verge of overtaking AEW. Santino Marella recently claimed that with a proper television deal, TNA could surpass AEW entirely—despite Tony Khan’s deep pockets.

With comments like Jericho’s and a string of packed shows, it’s clear TNA is on a serious upswing. If they lock down a major broadcast partner, the war for second place behind WWE might be more real than ever.
