Chris Jericho made headlines recently when he signed with All Elite Wrestling (AEW). This came as a shock because Jericho has said in the past that he wouldn’t work for any promotion in the United States due to his relationship with Vince McMahon.
Jericho was recently interviewed by Chris Van Vliet. During the interview, he was asked how Vince felt about him signing with AEW.
Here is what he said:
“I spoke to Vince before I signed, and he knew it. The words we exchanged were very amicable, and it wasn’t like it was a surprise. Business is business.
Vince McMahon is my friend; I respect him, I love the guy — no ill will whatsoever, just the business road took me this way. I would’ve been crazy not to do it because I might insult somebody. I think the first guy who would agree with that is Vince.”
On a related note, Jericho also provided an update on Roman Reigns. You can read more about that here.
