Tony Khan is leaving the door open for Chris Jericho's return to AEW

Tony Khan recently talked about Chris Jericho's status with AEW. He revealed many key details, saying that he hopes to see Y2J back in All Elite Wrestling down the line. He left the door open to have Jericho back in his company, while heaping heavy praise for the legend.

Speaking on the Ariel Helwani Show, Khan expressed respect for Jericho and revealed he recently reached out to him to wish him a happy birthday. The AEW President gave credit to the legend for helping to build the Jacksonville-based promotion from the very beginning.

"Chris Jericho is someone who is still with AEW and has been with us from the very beginning. He's been away from us for a bit and he's somebody who, even this year, has had great matches with Bandido, somebody that's been a world champion for us, and was really at the very beginning of AEW, absolutely as key and instrumental as any individual in the launch of AEW." he said

Therefore, as per Tony, Y2J's contribution to the company cannot be recreated. With that said, only time will tell what is in store for Chris Jericho in the world of professional wrestling down the line at the age of 55.
