He informs that he talked to Vince McMahon right up until a few days before the AEW rally. He never really received a formal offer from WWE, and he left on amicable terms. He says Vince McMahon is his friend and they’ve made each other a lot of money over the years.
Jericho knows it’s not going to be easy, and they’re going to have to spend a lot of money at first as they all hope to grow this thing from the ground up. AEW has lots of hungry, fresh, creative talent, and with the financial backing of the Khan family there’s a legitimate reason to believe that they can find success.
He admits it’s weird to see pictures of himself at the rally with an AEW banner behind him. He’ll miss working for WWE and Vince McMahon, and he’ll miss his friends there. However, he thinks we’ll see some WWE talent in AEW sooner than later.
That sums up today’s episode of Talk is Jericho. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
