Considering Vince McMahon and Chris Jericho shared a close relationship after working together for nearly two decades, fans never assumed the boss would let Y2J go, but it happened. 

The question now stands- What kind of relationship does Chris Jericho share with the WWE Chairman given his status as a key AEW Superstar?

In a recent interview on Hollywood Raw, Y2J described the exact place he is in when it comes to Vince McMahon and WWE. 

“I mean, you know, it’s one of those things like I haven’t worked for him for almost three years now but I did work for him for 17-18 years and had been a fan of the company, obviously, since I was a teenager,” explained Jericho. 

“So I mean I, at one point was a very close friend of Vince. We’re still close now are still friends now, but you’re not as close, you know, I’m on the enemy team now,” said Jericho.
