• Reason Behind AEW Dropping Chris Jericho’s First Name
After being off television for a year, Chris Jericho made his return to All Elite Wrestling over a week ago. He signed a multi-year deal with the company on this week’s episode of Dynamite.
During his return entrance, fans noticed that the titantron only displayed the name “Jericho” instead of “Chris Jericho.”AEW also promoted his segment for the latest Dynamite simply as “Jericho will address his return”, and the on-screen graphic during his entrance followed the same presentation.
According to Fightful Select, the decision to refer to him simply as “Jericho” was made at Chris Jericho’s own request, although he will still be referred to with his full name at times on AEW programming.
The first ever AEW World Champion will face Ricochet in his return match tomorrow night at Dynasty.
