#2 Manager of an AEW wrestler

The premiere AEW Dynamite episode saw the formation of Chris Jericho's Inner Circle during his rivalry with The Elite.

Chris Jericho enlisted the help of Santana, Ortiz, Sammy Guevara and Jake Hager to support him in his new All Elite Wrestling venture.

The Inner Circle has gone on to become one of the most popular stables in AEW, gradually moving from heels into babyfaces, along with Jericho himself.

The Inner Circle faction also served as a vehicle to establish and get over lesser known talents such as Sammy Guevara, Santana and Ortiz, in which it has succeeded.

Chris Jericho has openly spoken of his admiration for Sammy Guevara, highlighting him as a future star for AEW.

If Chris Jericho does retire from in-ring competition this Sunday at All Out, Le Champion could serve as a full-time manager for Inner Circle members such as Sammy Guevara and Santana & Ortiz.


#1 On-screen AEW authority figure

AEW President Tony Khan has the final call on all decisions in AEW.

In addition to being the AEW President, Khan also serves as the General Manager, Head of Creative and CEO for the company.

AEW Dynamite and AEW Rampage largely does not have an on-screen authority figure. Tony Khan very, very rarely appears on All Elite Wrestling television and has largely stuck to behind the camera and occasional on-screen cameos.

The AEW announcement team does often make mention of Tony Khan announcing and booking matches for broadcasts of Dynamite and Rampage.

Should Chris Jericho retire from in-ring competition at All Out this Sunday against MJF, perhaps Le Champion could become an on-screen authority figure on both Dynamite and Rampage.

Many fans could argue that both shows don't need an authority figure to book matches on the broadcasts. Nevertheless, it certainly is an option on how to use Jericho in his post-in ring career.
