Chris Jericho is one of the most tenured and charismatic wrestling stars of all time. He started his career in the 1990s and continues to wrestle as an active performer. In his illustrious run as an in-ring competitor, Jericho has wrestled for promotions like WCW, WWE, and, most recently, All Elite Wrestling.He was the first signee for the Jacksonville-based promotion in 2019 and even became the inaugural AEW World Champion. Jericho has been a pivotal fixture for Tony Khan's company; however, he has been absent from television for months now. Moreover, there are major rumors that Jericho will return to his previous company, WWE, following the expiration of his current contract at the end of the year.Moreover, The Learning Tree himself has been teasing his WWE return with major hints. If that happens, Tony Khan will suffer a major blow to his promotion. Here are four reasons he should stop Jericho from jumping ship to the Sports Entertainment Juggernaut.#4. Multiple dream matches left for Chris Jericho in AEWChris Jericho has competed against the top stars in AEW, such as Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley. However, there are still many names on the roster with whom he has yet to share the ring in All Elite Wrestling. This is a significant reason for Tony Khan to keep Jericho in his company to produce dream matches against names like Cope, his former ally Christian Cage, and new rising stars like Kyle Fletcher, which could be massive draws for the company.#3. Help AEW creative, given his knowledge and experienceAfter spending over three decades in the wrestling business, Chris Jericho has gained vast experience and knowledge, which is truly a gold mine for any promotion. Tony Khan's AEW has been built with major contributions by the former Demo God and could continue to benefit from it even if he retires and takes a backstage role. However, for that to happen, Khan must ensure that Jericho re-signs with All Elite Wrestling and stays with them for the long run.#2. Put over younger talent in AEWChris Jericho is among the top veterans in the wrestling business who are not shy to give back to the industry that has made them accomplished names. He has been pivotal for the rise of many younger talents in his career, like MJF, Big Bill, Bryan Keith, and many others in AEW. So, the Jacksonville-based company needs a fixture like him for a long-term period to make new stars who can take the business forward.#1. Chris Jericho is a major drawOnly a handful of veterans remain who are still top-level active performers, and Chris Jericho's name is certainly among the top. Moreover, he has carved out one of the most successful careers in wrestling, winning World Championships and major accolades, and is a bona fide future Hall of Famer. At the same time, Jericho has earned fame in the music industry as well. This makes him a marquee attraction, and AEW losing him to WWE could be seen as a huge star power loss.
