Chris Jericho was one of the foundations of AEW, and now the former world champion comments on the company reaching five years in the industry.
The Demo God spoke on this topic during a recent interview on Insight With Chris Van Vilet, where he states that AEW has exceeded people’s expectations, including his own. Jericho adds that it is still surprising for him to see the growth AEW is going through.
