In a recent interview with Matty Paddock of The Daily Star, All Elite Wrestling star Chris Jericho discussed several topics, including potentially ending his career in AEW, his interest in a WWE return and much more.

“I don’t hold a torch for WWE, to me that’s not the place to be, AEW is the place to be, it really is. I’ve been in the WWE, I know how it works, they work that way, I don’t care if Vince is there, Hunter is there, or whoever is there, they have a way of doing things and I was there for 20 years and was pretty good at it.

I like the way we do things at AEW better, so I don’t know why I wouldn’t want to finish my career in AEW. I never thought that I wouldn’t finish my career with WWE, but things happened and I was just like, I want to go to Japan and do this match and it opened up a whole new world for me, it was like oh my gosh, this is the fun side of wrestling again.

Business is business, and there’s always ups and downs, but I have zero interest in ever going back to WWE, that’s not out of bitterness or anger, I love Vince and I love Hunter and all the people there, but I just really dig AEW and I have a stake in the game. I came here right out of the gate, I was the guy. Besides Jim Ross, there was nobody that had really been on television on a national basis, other than me. I take great pride in that, I started here, why would I want to walk away, there’s so much more that we can do, the sense of accomplishment is massive.”
