In expanding his responsibilities, he\u2019ll continue to serve as a valuable leader with our roster having the opportunity to utilize one of most creative minds in the history of wrestling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report indicates that Jericho will take on new responsibilities including being a backstage producer and a creative advisor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m \">\u201cI guess the simple answer is \u2018Why not?&#8217;\u201d Jericho said of signing again with AEW. \u201cThings have been going so well in the company, and I really do feel that this is my company. It\u2019s tattooed on my heart, so to speak. I\u2019ve been here since day one, and there\u2019s really no reason not to be here continuing forward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m \">\u201cWhen AEW first started, I think basically it was Chris Jericho and a group of very talented people that might not have been as well known. Within three months that changed and now within three years, we\u2019ve got at least a dozen, maybe two dozen, of our own homegrown stars that came into their own on AEW television.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>AEW just celebrated it&#8217;s three year anniversary at the beginning of October.
