AEW star, Chris Jericho recently spoke with Busted Open Radio where he discussed WWE and how he believes they will never grant another release. Below are some highlights with a H/T to Fightful.com for the transcriptions.
On WWE not granting anymore releases:
“I don’t know why [Shawn Spears] sat on the sidelines for eight months. I don’t know why a lot of guys sit on the sidelines for eight months,” Jericho said on Busted Open Radio. “But you know how it works up North, brother. If you fall out of grace, you’re finished being played with as Vince’s toy, you get put in the corner. Thankfully, Shawn got his release. He’s the last one that will. Nobody will ever get their release from WWE again.
Jericho went on to discuss Shawn Spears, who was the last man to get his release granted by Vince McMahon, with Jericho admitting he pushed for AEW to sign him as he thinks Spears is a main event talent.
“Nobody. He got his release, Cody and him are friends. Cody knew what he was capable of. I knew what he was capable of. I championed to get him. The guy is a tremendous heel. He’s an old school heel. He looks the part. Putting him with Tully Blanchard is a great idea. He’s a main eventer. We’re going to make him into a star, just by putting him with Cody Rhodes.”
Spears will compete against Cody Rhodes this coming Saturday at ALL OUT, whilst Chris Jericho will compete in the first-ever AEW Championship match against Hangman Page in what is expected to be the main event match.
