📰 AEW NEWS & RUMORS

Jericho Staying in AEW

Despite months of speculation about a WWE return, Jericho is confirmed to be staying with AEW. Jericho was missing since disbanding The Learning Tree stable the night after he lost the ROH World title to Bandido in April of last year. AEW had extended his contract while he was away. It’s believed that Jericho and AEW came to an agreement on a new contract leading to his return. One advantage signing with AEW over WWE has is that Jericho will be able to continue pursuing outside projects. (According to Bleacher Report) WWE wanted him to sign for a retirement tour. (According to ITRWrestling.com)

⭐ Eric Bischoff weighs in on Ricochet

“Ricochet is not the smartest, brightest bulb on the tree, so to speak. That was a stupid thing to do. I think his excuse was, ‘Oh I was in character.’ No, I just think it was poor judgment, that he tried to camouflage by talking about the fact that he was in character when he did it as opposed to just saying, ‘I’m sorry.’ He should have just said, ‘I’m sorry’ and not try to make an excuse for it. Whatever, he did apologize, that’s what matters. We all move on.” (According to ITRWrestling.com)

Omega Touts AEW’s Affordable Prices

“We’re sort of like the alternative. We’re not quite WWE, and we’re not an indie either. We’re just All Elite Wrestling.

What we try to be is the most fun live show that you can watch, available to you. And I do think that for family-friendly shows, mostly family-friendly, the ticket prices are absolutely friendly. We never skimp on the content. You’ll always get a ton of wrestling for your money’s worth.

I even think we’re getting a double taping as well in Winnipeg, so you’re getting a whole lot of AEW, and you’re not having to mortgage your house or sell off your first child. That’s not even a knock on any promotion, it’s just that if you want to check out a television product, see yourself on TV, and have fun, see what makes AEW special, you can do it at an affordable price.

And I’m just really glad that if there’s any interest whatsoever, whether you’re a diehard AEW fan or you just want to check out a night of wrestling and do something fun with family or friends, there are price point options available for all walks of life. That’s one thing I’m very proud of with AEW.” (As seen on CBC News Manitoba)
