"Sorry pal. Tested Negative w the swab for the 12th time…"
As for Chris Jericho continuing to work for the AEW, the Superstar has fortunately tested negative ahead of the recent two tapings. That said, a lot of people were tested positive for the virus after testing negative initially.
Chris Jericho and his current run in AEW
Chris Jericho is arguably the biggest name on the AEW roster, and he has done his job well in bringing attention to the brand. Most recently, he has been involved in a feud with AEW Superstar Orange Cassidy.
It all started when both Superstars were engaged in a debate, and Eric Bischoff declared Cassidy as the winner. This enraged Jericho, especially after Cassidy went on to claim that he can embarrass the former champion.
Chris Jericho and Orange Cassidy locked horns in the main event of Dynamite this week that saw the latter picking a huge victory. In a recent interview, Jericho stated that AEW needs to create new Superstars and he has been doing his bit for the cause.
"We're building Darby, MJF, Sammy Guevara, Jungle Boy, Orange Cassidy, making them into stars because they will have to do main events for us in the near future. I can't be on top forever, nor do I want to be but I sure do love working with these guys."
Talking about Darby Allin, Chris Jericho ended up comparing the AEW star to Jeff Hardy. He also went on to say that he believes Allin can be one of the biggest Superstars in the future. In addition, Chris Jericho also did everything in his power to hype up Orange Cassidy ahead of their in-ring encounter.
