Chris Jericho has been demanding the new company give him credit for their very existence since AEW was officially formed in January. Kenny Omega and Matt & Nick Jackson of The Young Bucks are All Elite Executive Vice-Presidents. That’s enough of a story right there.
But the the mystery partner angle will drive speculation about who would side with Jericho in this fight. It’ll also spark imaginations about whether or not Y2J’s allies are new additions to the AEW roster.
Let us know if you think it’s Lucha Bros or someone else below. While you think about your answer, here’s the line-up for the TNT premiere to help you decide if you’re gonna buy tickets when they go on sale Fri., Aug. 2 at noon eastern.
