Chris Jericho: AEW Are Already The Top Wrestling Company In The World

Chris Jericho has praised his current promotion, All Elite Wrestling, and touted AEW as the top professional wrestling promotion in the world today during an interview with PopCulture.com.

"Well, in my opinion, what is the top wrestling promotion? To me, I think we already are, as far as in-ring product and entertaining shows, storylines, characters, et cetera. If you're looking at like will AEW overtake WWE as the wrestling brand in North America? I don't know. But that's not something that we ever really think about or worry about. All we're worried about is continuing to grow our fan base, which we are, grow and continue to improve and create amazing stories, which we do," Jericho began.

"We really are killing it in the demos, which equals higher television contracts when this current one expires in a few years. So ask me in a couple [of] years, if we're going to be the most dominant promotion. I know we'll be making a hell of a lot more money than we are right now, which will enable us to continue to put on the best wrestling product in the world today, which is what we're already doing."

Jericho has been with All Elite Wrestling since the promotion's early days in 2019 and he was the inaugural AEW World Champion, helping to establish Dynamite on TNT ahead of an extension with WarnerMedia. 

AEW's contract with the network is due to run through 2023.
