Chris Jericho would be on board with WWE Hall of Famer joining AEW

Chris Jericho would welcome Edge to AEW. Rumors have continued to swirl regarding Edge's future with WWE. The veteran recently released a video stating he had a contract offer from WWE in his inbox. Yet, nothing regarding an extension has been announced.

AEW has become an alternative option for wrestlers who feel like WWE isn't the right option for them. Either their talent isn't being utilized, or they've accomplished everything they set out to do. Either way, the growing brand can provide a new lease of life. Speaking on a recent episode of the "Superstar Crossover" podcast, Jericho discussed why Edge may choose to spend his last few years with AEW.

"You're there for many years, and you've wrestled everybody, and it's great. But it's always good to shock people, and to show up with a new kind of mission," Jericho said. h/t to Fightful for the transcription. So I think somebody like Edge, you know, there's a lot of guys over [in WWE] like this. They've kind of done everything they can do there...That's the best thing about having AEW and about us being as successful as we are, is that there's now a viable alternative, I don't wanna say, competitor, because it's not that, but you can now go to either company."
