Obviously, I never thought I\u2019d be in a faction with him. I always was able to go to him for advice, but now being able to work right underneath him is cool because I literally get to talk to him every week. He produces a lot of promos and backstage stuff. It\u2019s been such an honor to be able to go to him every week. I cannot say enough good things about him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jay turned heel and joined Tay Conti in the Jericho Appreciation Society. She says there were pros and cons in transitioning from a good guy character to a bad one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPros and cons to everything,&#8221; Jay said of the heel turn. &#8220;I like playing the role I\u2019m in right now. It\u2019s a lot of fun. I definitely get a lot of hate. Whether it\u2019s real or not, whatever it is. It\u2019s good and bad. It\u2019s good to be able to try these different roles out. My experience level is not the greatest, so I know it\u2019s challenging in a good way. It\u2019s been a lot of fun and obviously working with Chris is just crazy and an honor as well. I\u2019m definitely appreciating working with him.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2023\/05\/03\/aew-ends-youtube-shows-tv-deal-announcement-reportedly-set-for-may\/\">AEW ends YouTube shows, TV deal announcement reportedly set for May<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3126178984\"><div id=\"pwtor-3489456765\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Anna Jay says it&#8217;s &#8220;so cool&#8221; to work with Chris Jericho, but reveals she never thought she&#8217;d end up in a faction with him.
