Jeff Jarrett has responded to Chris Jericho's latest remarks.
The wrestling veteran recently had an interview with Adventure Gamers. He talked about things such as the early days of TNA, briefly being part of the Four Horsemen, his role in AEW, and more.
When asked about Chris Jericho downplaying AEW's popularity by calling TNA the #2 promotion, Jarrett claimed that it was a good clickbait headline, but suggested that AEW's business speaks for itself:
In the world of clickbait, that was good clickbait. But you know, the realistic side of things is, AEW has two hours on TV, two hours on TNT, monthly pay-per-view stadium shows. I think that absolutely speaks for itself.
Chris Jericho has been absent from AEW TV since April this year. The popular belief is that he is waiting for his deal with Tony Khan's promotion to expire so he can make a return to WWE.
Both Khan and The Young Bucks have spoken positively about the former AEW Champion in his absence, saying they hope Jericho stays with the promotion.
The wrestling legend himself seems to be doing everything he can to keep himself in the news during his absence. This includes his comments about TNA as well as posting photos with his former WWE partner to keep the rumor mills churning
