“Vince Would Not Allow it”- Chris Jericho Comments on Brock Lesnar Joining AEW

Brock Lesnar has been heavily linked with a move to AEW. Fans believe that his appearance on the promotion is imminent. Speaking on this topic, AEW Superstar Chris Jericho revealed that it may be a long shot.

In a recent interview with Gary Cassidy of Sportskeeda, Jericho shed light on the topic with his opinion.

“I don’t really think he’s really a free agent at all and I think it would take so much money to pry him away from Vince McMahon on Brock’s end and for Vince to approve that,” says Jericho. “I mean Vince has 2 billion dollars in the bank. What are you gonna spend on Brock Lesnar hat Vince isn’t gonna match?”

Jericho explains how Vince and Lesnar are very close. This is just one of the few petty disagreements they have before patching up.

“Vince and Brock have a strange love affair, to begin with. Would Brock fit in at AEW? Would he pay back his salary that you would pay him to be in the AEW? Who’s to say but I think UFC, AEW, I think this is just one of those dances that Vince and Brock like to have where Brock’s contract expires, Vince lets it expire, and they kind of stay away from each other for a few months until the Saudi Arabia show or the next show that has people in the crowd or WrestleMania or whatever it may be.”

Chris Jericho does not think Brock Lesnar would be a good investment

Jericho concludes that signing Brock Lesnar would not be the best investment for AEW. 

“I don’t think Brock is really a free agent in that sense or word, I just think he’s not currently under contract right now,” explains Jericho. “But the amount of money it would take to tear him away from the world of WWE- A. Would be astronomical B. Vince would not allow it and C. I don’t know if you could make that investment back or if it would be even worth it for AEW at this point in time, or for UFC or any other company but WWE.”

AEW fans may be gutted by hearing Jericho’s views. Although I must admit, he does speak sense. Spending that much money on Lesnar right now would not be the best step for AEW. If we’re speaking about loyalties, it doesn’t take a genius to know where Brock Lesnar’s lie.
