Wrestling veteran reveals one reason why Chris Jericho could be The Devil in AEW
Fans are still speculating who could be The Devil in AEW, and it seems that a wrestling veteran has a good reason why Chris Jericho could be under the mask.
While the former AEW World Champion hasn't interacted with current titleholder MJF in a long time, the two men have a storied history together. They were once part of The Inner Circle faction.
They engaged in a lengthy feud in 2021, culminating in a match at that year's All Out pay-per-view. Chris Jericho's in-ring career was on the line in the high-profile bout.
On the latest edition of The Experience, Jim Cornette reeled off a list of candidates who could be The Devil before mentioning Chris Jericho.
“They could make it [Chris] Jericho, it ain’t going to get over anyway pretty much no matter who it is because we’ve kind of established that there’s nobody for it to be that will be a game changer, business changer, or a big exciting reveal. If Jericho wanted to be that, he’s got the black bat, but so does Sting, and Sting’s retiring. Besides, he would even be a heel when he was a heel," he said.
The WWE legend claimed that he could convince Tony Khan to make him the masked man as a way to keep himself relevant.
"So Jericho, the only reason it would be him is if he talks Tony [Khan] into it to keep himself in the spotlight. [Plus] Jericho and MJF do have the chequered past,” Cornette added. [4:50 - 5:30]
