AEW is yet to confirm Chris Jericho’s comment
However, the company itself has not yet made an announcement about the new recruit. Nevertheless, it is expected that she will play a crucial role in developing the Women’s division at All Elite Wrestling.
Considering that the Women’s division at the company is currently a work in progress, Deeb’s fifteen years’ worth of experience will bring significant value to the company. She will be able to nurture the existing young talent in the division.
