A significant update has emerged about Chris Jericho’s future ahead of AEW Dynamite, where he stands as the first-ever AEW World Heavyweight Champion. Jericho, recognized as one of the promotion’s top stars, signed with AEW back in 2019.
After enjoying a successful career in WWE for almost two decades, Jericho took a chance on himself by joining AEW, a decision that paid off handsomely. He became the inaugural AEW World Champion after defeating Hangman Page at All Out in 2019.
Over the years, AEW has relied on Jericho as a top star in their promotion. The former AEW World Champion has also helped to build new stars and improve the show’s ratings. He has consistently remained in interesting feuds in Tony Khan’s promotion.
Currently, he is embroiled in a feud with Mark Briscoe, who defeated him for the ROH World Championship at WrestleDream a few weeks ago. As Jericho seeks redemption, he will challenge for the ROH World Championship on the October 23rd edition of Dynamite. Amid this title match against Mark Briscoe, recent reports indicate that Jericho’s AEW contract is nearing expiration.
Chris Jericho’s AEW contract set to expire soon
According to recent reports from WrestlePurists, Chris Jericho’s current AEW deal expires in 2025. Importantly, there are no injury clauses or additional stipulations included in the contract at the time. This is unlike the situation with Rey Fenix, who recently received contract adjustments following reports of interest from WWE.
While Jericho has been a cornerstone of All Elite Wrestling since its inception, it seems unlikely that he would consider leaving the promotion. However, in the world of professional wrestling, the unpredictable nature of the industry, given Jericho’s history in WWE, makes it interesting to see if WWE will have an offer for him if he decides to explore options following his contract’s expiry.
