3 likely contenders to become inaugural AEW World Champion

#2 Chris Jericho

He would be a brilliant option to become their inaugural champion

Chris Jericho first became noticed within WCW, specifically during his feud with Dean Malenko, which afforded unforgettable content. However, Jericho was destined for higher success.

In 1999 he debuted in WWE. Since then his career has reached nearly unattainable heights. For example, he was the first undisputed champion, and is a record nine-time WWE Intercontinental Champion.

In 2018 Jericho sporadically appeared for WWE, notably in the Royal Rumble and Greatest Royal Rumble matches. However, in October Jericho conducted his Rock N Rager Cruise.

With the success of his work with NJPW, and his cruise tour, Jericho has become unpredictable. However, his unpredictability has vastly improved entertainment value for wrestling fans.

During the AEW Rally, Jericho confirmed his contract with the promotion. He would be a brilliant option to become their inaugural champion.

Nevertheless, his extensive knowledge as a champion or not is lucrative for AEW. Ultimately there are very few who could match Jericho's experience, he has been successful in wrestling, music, and broadcasting.
