Every fledgling wrestling company needs that one marquee star. AEW have it in the WWE legend, icon and master-of-reinvention that is Chris Jericho. Talk about breaking walls down, Y2J has blown up the entire building with his appearance at the Double Or Nothing rally.

A few years after claiming he'd never wrestle for anyone other than Vince McMahon, Jericho has created memories in New Japan and is now exclusive to All Elite Wrestling.

Holy f*ck, lads, this is huge. Jericho is someone who could easily have played the legend card in WWE for years to come and only popped up occasionally when it suited him for WrestleMania paydays. Instead of doing that, he's forging forward with Cody, The Bucks, PAC, the Khan family and their combined dream to self-sufficiently challenge wrestling's status quo.
