Chris Jericho explains why he didn't want to go back to WWE
During his appearance on Swings and Mrs, Jericho opened up about his reasons for not wanting to return to the WWE. Jericho said that if he went back, he knew that WWE would have wanted him to continue with 'the list of Jericho', which he felt was more of a nostalgia trip instead of where he was right now as a performer.
"(I went to) AEW over WWE because if I go back to WWE I know that they're going to want me to be the 'List' guy and it just doesn't feel right any more. That was a great moment in time, it was awesome, but to go back 2 years later I would feel once again falling into this nostalgia trip which I never want to do."
Jericho also added that the fact that AEW was a chance to make wrestling history was something that had appealed to him.
"The AEW trip was starting from scratch, uncharted waters, we had to get this off the ground - how do you do that? You could really make a difference in the history of wrestling."
