Chris Jericho Advocates for AEW's Future Stars

Chris Jericho, a veteran wrestler and former World Champion, has stated that AEW should no longer be centered around him. He emphasized the importance of promoting younger wrestlers during a recent appearance on The Wrestling Classic.

Jericho, who has been with AEW since its inception and was the company's first World Champion, believes that the promotion should focus on emerging stars like Kevin Knight and Will Ospreay. He noted that the natural progression of wrestling involves building new talent to take over for the next generation.

At 55 years old, Jericho highlighted the unique matchups available in AEW, where repeat matches are rare. He expressed enjoyment in working with both new and familiar opponents, indicating that the diverse roster allows for exciting match possibilities. Despite earlier rumors of a potential return to WWE, Jericho remains committed to AEW and its younger talent.
