Vince McMahon still haunted by 6-time World Champion joining AEW, says former WWE announcer

Former WWE announcer Hugo Savinovich recently appeared on Bodyslam’s High Spot Podcast and discussed a variety of Pro Wrestling topics. Savinovich opened up on Vince McMahon still being haunted by the fact that he didn't pay Chris Jericho enough for him to stay with WWE.

Chris Jericho secured a contract with All Elite Wrestling earlier this year and dubbed it as the best deal of his life. Jericho defeated Kenny Omega in the main event of AEW's first show, "Double Or Nothing", bagging an AEW World title shot. He defeated Hangman Page at AEW All Out to become the first-ever AEW World Champion. Soon after, Jericho formed a stable called "The Inner Circle", consisting of stars like Jake Hager, Sammy Guevara, and Santana & Ortiz. It's safe to say that Jericho is doing pretty well for himself in AEW.

While talking with Bodyslam.net, Savinovich said that Vince McMahon is still upset over not being able to secure Jericho to a contract, which ultimately led to the latter joining AEW.

Chris Jericho has become one of the things that’s still affecting Vince and I think that’s why he signed that contract with Randy Orton right away, because Randy Orton was pushing the envelope of saying to WWE if you don’t sign me I’m going to be a free agent and guess what (Tony) Khan is going to give me that money. Vince is still haunted with not giving Jericho a better offer and he’s not going to make that same mistake again.
