Chris Jericho Talks Departure From WWE, Being AEW World Champion

AEW World Champion Chris Jericho spoke about some interesting topics while doing an interview with The Aquarian

Here are the highlights:

Question about being World Champion influenced his decision to join AEW: 

“It doesn’t work that way. I would never say that. The belt is just a prop anyway. The important thing is how you conduct yourself, how you work in the ring, and how you connect with the audience. That’s much more important than having a title.”

Leaving WWE: 

“I did all I could do in WWE. Now I like being part of a company that I’m bringing up from scratch. That appeals to me. I could go back to WWE tomorrow and I know exactly where I’d stand. I prefer being here. There’s no limits. It’s uncharted waters. We don’t even know what’s going to happen from day to day at AEW. Also I think the fans like an alternative. Wednesday nights on TV rock now.”
