Top AEW Star Chris Jericho recently did an interview with TV Insider on a number of topics including if there will ever be an Elite Deletion Match now that Matt Hardy is part of the company.
According to Jericho, he hasn’t thought much about it because they are still not at that point, but when the time is right and there is an Elite Deletion Match, then they will do it.
This is what Chris Jericho said:
“I haven’t thought much about it because we’re not at that point.” “I think it’s great Matt is in AEW. I think it has made such a big impact. Right now, we’re just keeping the lights on and doing the best we can to make sure everybody is involved and continues their storylines. Then when the time is right, if there is an ‘Elite Deletion,’ we’ll do it. We still have ‘Blood and Guts’ [the postponed March special that was to feature Hardy and The Elite vs. The Inner Circle] to do and a lot of other stuff. For right now, we have to continue just being as creative as we can and come up with as many ideas as we can to keep the ball moving.”
Jericho then talked about the talents that were recently released by the WWE. Jericho said that it is an interesting time right now, because a lot of guys got released.
Jericho also said that many of the released wrestlers will get picked up by the different companies and some of them may even have to go overseas. Jericho then said that he doesn’t know what AEW has planned, but he is sure everybody is going to land where they should land.
This is what Chris Jericho said:
“It’s an interesting time right now, because a lot of guys got released.” “By proxy, you went from a business that was very profitable in many different levels to everything grinding to a halt. Hopefully, many of them will get picked up by the different companies. Some guys may have to go overseas. I don’t know what AEW has planned. That’s not really my wheelhouse. But I’m sure everybody is going to land where they should land. It’s just how it goes.”
