Chris Jericho Signs New AEW Deal, Revives The List, Picks Ricochet for Dynasty

The move signals AEW kept a founding star after months of WWE speculation.

Overview

  • Jericho, who returned to TV last week, signed a new AEW contract on Wednesday’s Dynamite in Edmonton and revealed a clause that lets him choose his AEW Dynasty opponent.
  • He named Ricochet for the pay-per-view and brought back The List, his crowd‑pleasing bit where he writes a rival’s name on a clipboard.
  • The signing segment followed his April 1 surprise return in Winnipeg, where he told fans he was home after nearly a year off AEW television.
  • AEW President Tony Khan said Jericho had a choice during free agency and chose to stay with AEW, highlighting his value as the company’s first world champion.
  • AEW has not announced long‑term booking plans for Jericho, with the Ricochet match at the upcoming Dynasty event the only confirmed piece so far.
