AEW News: Notes On Chris Jericho’s AEW Contract, Possible TV Deals & More

All Elite Wrestling updates on possible TV deals, Jericho and more!

If you’re a WWE fan and you’re already tired of hearing about All Elite Wrestling, you will have to get used to it as there will be no shortage of news on the upstart promotion, especially leading up to their first event, Double Or Nothing, on May 25th.

We’ve already noted that Chris Jericho appeared on Busted Open Radio today and discussed telling Vince McMahon he was signing with AEW among other topics (check that out here), but that’s not all of the interesting information ‘Y2J’ would give us regarding the company. One topic fans have been really looking for answers on is a possible television deal, as we’ve heard that TNT or TBS could be a landing spot (see that story here). Jericho wouldn’t give away much as nothing is official, but did state that there are three deals currently on the table that would make people say, “This is the real deal”.

Also pertaining to Jericho, Dave Meltzer reports on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio that his AEW contract is for three years, which reportedly according to the multi-time WWE Champion is the best of his career. It’s also speculated, but not yet confirmed, that Jericho will be able to work for New Japan Pro Wrestling as well.

Lastly on the contract front, we know that WWE was in pursuit of ‘Hangman’ Adam Page and according to Meltzer, he too was made a “strong offer” which was obviously declined. As for the highly sought after Kenny Omega, who many believe will choose AEW over WWE, Mike Johnson of PWInsider reports that ‘The Cleaner’ can actually not sign anywhere until the first week of February, as opposed to Feburary 1st like originally thought.
