AEW ALL OUT: 5 Heel/Face turns that should happen at the show

#4 Chris Jericho: Face Turn

At All Out, Chris Jericho will be challenging for the inaugural AEW World Championship as he gets set to face Adam Page in a highly awaited main event match. Heading into this match, Page is the clear favorite to beat Jericho and if he eventually does, then a face turn for the latter would bring a major change in the main event scene for AEW.

Jericho's heel run initially began when he made his return to New Japan Pro Wrestling in 2017 and challenged Kenny Omega to an IWGP US Championship at Wrestle Kingdom 12. Y2J's heel run continued for almost two years in New Japan, as he won the IWGP Intercontinental Championship during this tenure, as well.

Jericho eventually signed with AEW and headlined the promotion's first show, Double or Nothing and even defeated Kenny Omega in his first match for the promotion, as well. A face turn for Jericho would bring a major change to AEW and it has been a while since we've seen Y2J as a face.
