Chris Jericho may be a founding pillar of AEW, but right now, hes not part of the pictureat all.
According to a new Fightful Select report, Jericho isnt just absent from AEW programminghes not even being discussed in creative meetings.
That silence is striking for a guy who helped launch the company and served as its first World Champion. While Jericho has kept a low profile since losing the ROH World Title to Bandido at AEW Dynasty back in April, many assumed hed be involved in some capacity for AEW Worlds End on December 27. Instead, hes reviving his YouTube show The Winnipeggers for a 9 PM ET broadcastright in the middle of AEWs PPV.
This development comes as speculation intensifies about a possible WWE return in 2026, but for now, Jericho seems entirely detached from AEWs ongoing direction.
What do you think it means that Chris Jericho isnt even being discussed backstage in AEW? Is this the beginning of the end of his run with the companyor just a break before a reset? Drop your thoughts belowwe want your take.
