AEW President Tony Khan appeared on the “The Torg and Elliott Show” earlier today and was asked about the status of veteran wrestler Chris Jericho, who has been off AEW TV for a number of months now. With Jericho’s contract expiring at the end of the year, rumors have been swirling that he may be interested in returning to WWE for a final run.

Khan was asked about Jericho last month and was brief, saying only that he would love to have him back. He re-iterated the same on the show today but elaborated a bit more:

“Well, Chris Jericho’s been here since the very beginning. And I have so much great respect for Chris Jericho. I do really have to say I would love to have Chris Jericho in AEW any time. Yeah, we absolutely want Chris Jericho back in AEW, and hopefully soon. He’s been great with us and he’s been with us since the very first event. The very first AEW World Champion. And Chris is a huge part of the history of AEW and still in great shape, still a great wrestler.”

When asked about when we could see Jericho back on AEW TV, Khan was elusive as expected and did not provide any hints:

“Well, I think you got to stay tuned to the show. That’s one of the reasons you watch the wrestling show is to see the returns, and we just talked at the beginning of the call about, you know, keeping secrets and stuff like that, so I think stay tuned.”
