Chris Jericho wants Roman Reigns, Cesaro and Ricochet to drop WWE commitments for AEW
During a live YouTube session, Chris Jericho revealed the name of the five superstars he would like to see in AEW. The list includes Reigns, Cesaro & others.
A couple of weeks ago, Chris Jericho had told WhatCulture that Roman Reigns is at the top of his wishlist for AEW. Chris Jericho claimed that he wants Roman Reigns in AEW because ‘not only is Reigns a great worker, he's also a cool guy’. Chris Jericho had also revealed that Roman Reigns will get the creative freedom in AEW which superstars rarely get in WWE. “If they just let him be him, he'd be the biggest star in the industry. That's a guy I'd love to get my hands on for sure, one of the few I'd love to have from WWE," Chris Jericho added.
Now, Chris Jericho has revealed the name of the other WWE superstars he would like to bring to AEW. While speaking on his ‘Saturday Night Special’ session, Chris Jericho said that he would love to see WWE superstars like Cesaro and Ricochet in the AEW ring. Chris Jericho praised Cesaro and claimed that The Swiss Superman has the calibre to become a top wrestler in AEW. Cesar is one of the most underrated superstars in WWE and is yet to get the push from Vince McMahon and team. Fans believe that Cesaro should indeed move to AEW where he will get a chance to work with wrestling greats like Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega, Jon Moxley and others.
