Jonathan Coachman is certain that Chris Jericho is leaving AEW

On a recent episode of the Coach and Bro show, Vince Russo and Jonathan Coachman discussed the Chris Jericho situation. According to Coachman, Y2J has pretty much told Tony Khan that he’s leaving without actually saying that he’s exiting the company.

"He [Jericho] said TNA's last show looked like a mini WrestleMania. It looked like they were the number two promotion in the world. This is a guy who is still under contract with AEW. You don't go on a podcast and say that. Also, he insulted their own show when they were in Philadelphia, at the small arena," Coachman said.

Jericho is one of the greatest of all time, and Khan must try everything in his power to make him stay.
