It’s always interesting to see which promotion the free agents in wrestling associate themselves with. In the past, WWE has had a monopoly in adding the best talents to its roster. But that is changing now with a rival like AEW giving the Stamford-based promotion a run for its money. And veteran Chris Jericho [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/chris-jericho/] recently praised the Jacksonville-based company for acquiring former NJPW star Jay White. There were many speculations regarding the talented performer’s next destination, and he ended all of them by making a surprise debut on the April 5th edition of Dynamite. Jericho talked about how this new addition to the AEW roster one-ups WWE. CHRIS JERICHO SPEAKS ON AEW ROSTER’S NEWEST ADDITION Jericho recently interacted on the Battleground podcast and delved into the matter. He said, “That’s why Jay White I mean what a great example of us still having the momentum. Hottest free agent in the world, silver platter for WWE, I mean the guy is 6ft 4, he’s international he’s got the accent which chicks love.” “He’s a great worker, he’s a great heel, he’s a great babyface and he chose AEW. If that doesn’t tell you what’s going on with us, I don’t know what will.” added Jericho. It’s no secret that White was a highly sought-after performer and WWE was reported to be quite interested in him. However, he chose to go ahead with the Tony Khan [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tony-khan/]-led promotion. Shaming Him and Keith Lee [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/wrestling/wwe/wwe-news-wow-its-2023-chris-jericho-publicly-calls-out-a-fan-for-fat-shaming-him-and-keith-lee/] It will be too early to say that it’s a shift in the power dynamics but it sure is a win for AEW at the expense of WWE [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/wrestling/wwe/]. Apart from the many impressive qualities that Jericho said White possesses what else makes him so special? JAY WHITE HAS ALREADY HAD AN IMPACTFUL CAREER He already has had a stellar career in NJPW. The Kiwi has held the IWGP world heavyweight championship once as well as the IWGP Intercontinental championship. He has also served as the leader of the uber-popular Bullet Club. This isn’t White’s first rodeo with AEW either, he appeared in the company albeit sporadically in 2022 as well. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Jay-White-1.jpg] Apart from that, he was ranked 12th in the top 500 wrestlers by Pro Wrestling Illustrated. Chris Jericho’s recent comments highlight that Jay White’s acquisition [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-aew-news-made-the-right-choice-internet-explodes-as-jay-white-snubs-vince-mcmahons-wwe-for-tony-khans-aew/] is certainly a major shot in the arm for AEW. WWE might have eaten humble pie on this occasion but it will be interesting to see what they have up their sleeves in the future. What do you think about Chris Jericho’s remarks about Jay White choosing AEW [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/wrestling/aew/] over WWE? Do you think it was the right call from the impressive wrestler? Let us know in the comments below.

<h2>AEW 2021: Latest News, AEW Rumors, Results</h2>
All Elite Wrestling has been phenomenal throughout 2020 and has proved itself time and time again. Perhaps the only main contender to WWE, AEW has routed NXT and has now crossed the 1 million viewership mark.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/7xaqmMyjmAsByHJpCrnlyMbRxjs=/1400x1050/filters:format(jpeg)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/19622967/EO7md32XUAApg5L.jpg" alt="I'm Embarrassed this Happens" data-noaft="1" />

Great content, excellent stipulations, and talented Superstars are what make AEW exciting. The different and raw vibe of wrestling in AEW makes it a very viable alternative to WWE wrestling.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>
<h2>History</h2>
It?s hard to believe that the company is not even 2 years old, considering the fact that it has already beaten NXT viewership. AEW?s creation was announced on January 1, 2019, which turned a lot of eyes away from WWE.

The idea began when journalist Dave Meltzer posted on Twitter that ROH (Ring of Honor) had not managed to sell even 10,000 tickets for any wrestling show.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://gmsrp.cachefly.net/images/19/01/02/06fa27e58f9aa42ca3eb7ef0dfd176bd/960.jpg" alt="Two WWE legends are set to be involved in Cody Rhodes &amp; The Young Bucks' All Elite Wrestling | GiveMeSport" data-noaft="1" />

Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks (Nick Jackson and Matt Jackson), both responded by organizing a huge cross-promotion Wrestling event. Using their massive influence as the top stars of ROH, the three were able to gather a lot of Superstars.

The event, called All In, was a huge success. It registered the largest crowd attendance for a pay per view that wasn?t organized or affiliated to WWE. A whopping 11, 263 people attended All In, raising a lot of eyebrows.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/cody-young-bucks.jpg" alt="Cody Rhodes And The Young Bucks Mock WWE 24/7 Title | WrestlingWorld" data-noaft="1" />

Following this impact, Cody and the Young Bucks decided to pursue this new-found dream. It was announced on January 1, 2019, that All Elite Wrestling was going to enter the wrestling world.
<h3>Build-up</h3>
Billionaires Tony Khan and Shahid Khan backed this new promotion as the main investors. The Khans are also board members of the Jacksonville Jaguars and English football club Fulham FC.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://i2-prod.mylondon.news/incoming/article14051044.ece/ALTERNATES/s1200/GettyImages-879842246.jpg" alt="Tony Khan reaffirms commitment to Fulham role after being named president of All Elite Wrestling | Football-Addict" data-noaft="1" />

Cody and the Young Bucks joined AEW as co-executive vice presidents, a day after the promotion?s arrival was announced. Cody?s wife Brandi Rhodes was announced as the company?s Chief Branding Officer.

Following this, AEW also announced the signing of many other Superstars. The team SoCal Uncensored consisting of Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, and Scorpio Sky, ?Hangman? Adam Page, Joey Janela, Dr. Britt Baker, and former WWE Superstars Chris Jericho and Pac.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://i1.wp.com/fullpresscoverage.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/KennyOmega.jpg?fit=1200%2C800&amp;ssl=1" alt="Why Kenny Omega made the right choice going to AEW - Full Press Coverage" data-noaft="1" />

Later, popular Wrestler Kenny Omega also joined the promotion as the fourth co-executive vice president of the company. He has proved to be quite an attraction and is regarded as one of the best in the business.

AEW also made the key decision of partnering with Oriental Wrestling Entertainment (OWE) and Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), which gives them access to another pool of talents.
<h3>Current times</h3>
<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://s3.superluchas.com/2020/07/Orange-Cassidy-y-Chris-Jericho-AEW.jpg" alt="Chris Jericho Reacts to his Iconic Debate with Orange Cassidy on AEW - EssentiallySports" data-noaft="1" />

The first-ever pay per view, ?AEW Double or Nothing,? had tickets out on February 7, 2019. Since then, the way has only been up for AEW. Signing with TNT, AEW now has their shows aired on the same platform as WCW 20 years ago. AEW Dynamite has been a huge problem for NXT for the past few months as the AEW vs WWE war continues.

In fact, AEW ratings have risen during the pandemic period. The company is making good use of the pandemic situation to get an edge over WWE. The promotion has been letting in a number of fans to watch the event live, which has also helped its episodes.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Jon-Moxley-4.jpg" alt="Jon Moxley blasts the fan Who ran at him during AEW All Out Entrance - EssentiallySports" data-noaft="1" />

It is the only promotion that is actively competing with WWE and has already overtaken NXT to reach 1 million viewers. AEW will only keep climbing, and seek to do what WCW couldn?t- topple WWE.
<h2>What is AEW?</h2>
All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is an American Professional Wrestling Promotion founded in 2019. It?s President and CEO is Tony Khan. Shahid Khan, along with Tony Khan, is the lead investor in the promotion.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>
<h2>How AEW is different from WWE?</h2>
Unlike WWE, AEW does not have PG restrictions. This means that it can show explicit content that involves bloody stunts such as thumbtacks.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://bleedingcool.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/AEW05224-1200x675.jpg" alt="AEW Dynamite 7/22/20 Part 1 - Now That's What I Call Extreme Rules" data-noaft="1" />

WWE stopped airing such content after it attained the PG license post the Attitude Era. The insanity of Mick Foley and other ?violent? acts would no longer air. AEW provides fans with a distinct similarity to those days.

The promotion freely uses thumbtacks and has little restriction in its matches. The reality of the entire show attracts a lot of wrestling fans. Unfortunately, WWE NXT cannot match this.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://www.wrestlezone.com/assets/uploads/2020/07/AEW-Dynamite-Darby-Allin-Ricky-Starks-Skateboard.jpg" alt="Ricky Starks Shows Off Bloody Back After Landing On Thumbtacks - Wrestlezone" data-noaft="1" />

AEW has also made great use of former WWE Superstars. The promotion recruits Superstars who were never used to their potential in WWE and makes them stars, showcasing the true talent that WWE threw away.
<h2>AEW Roster</h2>
AEW has a star-studded roster that can make wrestling fans go crazy over the possible storylines.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

AEW World Champion Kenny Omega defeated the unbeatable Jon Moxley to regain the title in a thrilling encounter.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://cultaholic.com/files/images/Kenny%20Omega%20AEW%20Dynamite%20AAA.jpg" alt="" width="901" height="507" data-iml="35018" />

AEW TNT Champion Darby Allin is another big name for the promotion, notching a crucial win for his career over Cody Rhodes to win the gold.

AEW Women?s World Champion Hikaru Shida is a major talent in the women?s division and is arguably one of the best in the business. Her wrestling style has been critically acclaimed.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/TS1-EP0YQNVxdvfA7k9Aa-evIP0=/404x0:2047x1095/1310x873/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/67018596/EaHjZ4xXgAEi_r7.0.0.0.jpeg" alt="Wrestling's Best Women, #10: Hikaru Shida - Cageside Seats" data-noaft="1" />

The AEW Tag Team FTR have been hailed as the next Arn and Tully, and they are certainly living up to that potential. We are yet to see the best of them.

The constant stars of the show are Orange Cassidy and Chris Jericho who recently had one of the funniest feuds ever. It ended with Jericho falling in a vat filled with a mixture of orange juice and Champagne form a mimosa.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://img.bleacherreport.net/img/slides/photos/004/380/828/aa31261f94e2fffe857b2d948ba9fdf1_crop_exact.jpg?w=2975&amp;h=2048&amp;q=85" alt="AEW Revolution 2020 Results: Orange Cassidy Shines Brightest, More Hot Takes | Bleacher Report | Latest News, Videos and Highlights" data-noaft="1" />

Other prominent names in the AEW roster include Cody, ?Hangman? Adam Page, Brain Cage, Miro, Kip Sabian, MJF, Matt Hardy, and Sammy Guevara.

The women?s division also has upcoming talents such as Abadon, Anna Jay, and Brandi Rhodes.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://em.wattpad.com/a966bc4df39068d42f7c1a85a2068355f8de60f7/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f47487274426d344d674a664861513d3d2d3137312e313630623932336531366633623462373636303233313938323135362e6a7067" alt="AEW Smash or Pass - Anna Jay - Wattpad" data-noaft="1" />

AEW also announced the signing of former WWE Superstars Miro (Rusev), Matt Cardona (Zack Ryder), and Matt Sydal (Evan Bourne), adding them to the already great roster.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Chris Jericho 2022: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Christopher Keith Irvine, better known as Chris Jericho, is a Canadian professional wrestler currently signed to AEW. He is also a musician, author, actor, and podcaster.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Jericho is widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. Some would even say that he is the greatest professional wrestler of all time. That isn't just because of him constantly reinventing himself in the WWE, but also because of his achievements outside the company.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Jericho began training to become a wrestler at 19 at the Hart Brothers School of Wrestling. His incredible skills led to the World Championship Wrestling (WCW) signing him. However, he was frustrated by the company constantly pushing ex-WWE superstars at the cost of its homegrown talent. This led to him signing with the WWE and quickly becoming one of the top stars in the company.</p>


[caption id="attachment_512046" align="aligncenter" width="454"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-512046" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210112003903/chris-jericho-and-big-show-454x315.jpg" alt="Chris Jericho and Big Show" width="454" height="315" /> LAS VEGAS - AUGUST 24: Wrestlers and tag team partners Chris Jericho (L) and Big Show appear in the ring during the WWE Monday Night Raw show at the Thomas &amp; Mack Center August 24, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images)[/caption]
<p style="text-align: center">Chris became the first undisputed WWF Champion, defeating The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin in one night. He would have many iconic feuds in the company ranging from old-timers like Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, and The Rock to the new generation like Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">His ability to reinvent himself saw him excel both as a babyface and a heel. His most recent run with the WWE saw him incorporate things like "The List" and his "stupid idiot" catchphrase that caught on like wildfire. This was a tremendous example of how Jericho stayed relevant even as times changed.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">He left the WWE soon after to wrestle for smaller promotions like NJPW and AEW. Jericho has continued to rebuild himself even in the twilight of his career, and therefore, he is so respected.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Chris Jericho Achievements</h2>
[caption id="attachment_512043" align="aligncenter" width="473"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-512043" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210112003703/chris-jericho-tokyo-dome-473x315.jpg" alt="Chris Jericho at the Tokyo Dome" width="473" height="315" /> TOKYO,JAPAN - JANUARY 4: Chris Jericho holds the belt of IWGP Intercontinental championship during the Wrestle Kingdom 13 at Tokyo Dome on January 04, 2019 in Tokyo, Japan. (Photo by Masashi Hara/Getty Images)[/caption]
<p style="text-align: center">Jericho holds many records in the WWE. He is a six-time world champion, having won the Undisputed WWF Championship within the WWF/WWE, along with winning the WCW/World Championship twice and the World Heavyweight Championship three times.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">He has also held the WWE Intercontinental Championship a record nine times and was the ninth Triple Crown Champion, and the fourth Grand Slam Champion in history. Chris Jericho is also a two-time United States Champion and a two-time tag team champion. He is also the first-ever AEW World Champion.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Jericho has also held the IWGP Intercontinental Championship in NJPW. That further placed him as the foremost wrestler in the world. These victories increase his standing on the greatness meter.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Chris Jericho Net Worth</h2>
[caption id="attachment_512044" align="aligncenter" width="474"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-512044" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210112003742/chris-jericho-fozzy-474x315.jpg" alt="Chris Jericho Fozzy" width="474" height="315" /> WALTON-ON-TRENT, UNITED KINGDOM - AUGUST 11: Vocalist Chris Jericho of American heavy metal group Fozzy performing live on stage at Bloodstock Open Air festival in Derbyshire, England, on August 11, 2013.

<p style="text-align: center">Jericho's <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/wrestlers/chris-jericho-net-worth/">net worth</a> in 2022 is estimated to be $18 million. This comes from diverse sources of income, like professional wrestling, his band, and books.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">His current salary stands at $500,000 per annum as of 2022.</p>

Chris Jericho

NEW YORK, NEW YORK &#8211; OCTOBER 04: Chris Jericho attends the All Elite Wrestling panel during 2019 New York Comic Con at Jacob Javits Center on October 04, 2019 in New York City. (Photo by Noam Galai/Getty Images for WarnerMedia Company) Chris Jericho 2022: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements Christopher Keith Irvine, better known as Chris Jericho, is a Canadian professional wrestler currently signed to AEW. He is also a musician, author, actor, and podcaster. Jericho is widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. Some would even say that he is the greatest professional wrestler of all time. That isn&#8217;t just because of him constantly reinventing himself in the WWE, but also because of his achievements outside the company. Jericho began training to become a wrestler at 19 at the Hart Brothers School of Wrestling. His incredible skills led to the World Championship Wrestling (WCW) signing him. However, he was frustrated by the company constantly pushing ex-WWE superstars at the cost of its homegrown talent. This led to him signing with the WWE and quickly becoming one of the top stars in the company. LAS VEGAS &#8211; AUGUST 24: Wrestlers and tag team partners Chris Jericho (L) and Big Show appear in the ring during the WWE Monday Night Raw show at the Thomas &amp; Mack Center August 24, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images) Chris became the first undisputed WWF Champion, defeating The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin in one night. He would have many iconic feuds in the company ranging from old-timers like Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, and The Rock to the new generation like Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens. His ability to reinvent himself saw him excel both as a babyface and a heel. His most recent run with the WWE saw him incorporate things like &#8220;The List&#8221; and his &#8220;stupid idiot&#8221; catchphrase that caught on like wildfire. This was a tremendous example of how Jericho stayed relevant even as times changed. He left the WWE soon after to wrestle for smaller promotions like NJPW and AEW. Jericho has continued to rebuild himself even in the twilight of his career, and therefore, he is so respected.

(Photo by Masashi Hara/Getty Images) Jericho holds many records in the WWE. He is a six-time world champion, having won the Undisputed WWF Championship within the WWF/WWE, along with winning the WCW/World Championship twice and the World Heavyweight Championship three times. He has also held the WWE Intercontinental Championship a record nine times and was the ninth Triple Crown Champion, and the fourth Grand Slam Champion in history. Chris Jericho is also a two-time United States Champion and a two-time tag team champion. He is also the first-ever AEW World Champion. Jericho has also held the IWGP Intercontinental Championship in NJPW. That further placed him as the foremost wrestler in the world. These victories increase his standing on the greatness meter.

(Photo by Kevin Nixon/Metal Hammer Magazine/Future via Getty Images/Future via Getty Images) Jericho&#8217;s net worth in 2022 is estimated to be $18 million. This comes from diverse sources of income, like professional wrestling, his band, and books. His current salary stands at $500,000 per annum as of 2022.
