Matt Hardy believes Chris Jericho still has significant star power and can contribute to AEW following his surprise return after roughly a year away, but emphasized that his success will depend entirely on how Tony Khan books him.

Despite these challenges, Hardy thinks Jericho can still help elevate other wrestlers if he's utilized correctly by the company.
Tony Khan revealed during a pre-AEW Dynasty media call that he made a $6.9 billion bid to purchase WWE in 2023, but admits he was "flying blind" without access to confidential financial information that other serious bidders typically receive. Khan explained he didn't get access to a data room with detailed company information and had to base his offer on publicly available data and WWE's stock value, saying "I had no more information than the rest of the public." Despite the limited information, Khan said the opportunity was worth pursuing given AEW's position as a challenger promotion, though he admitted he never seriously planned what would happen if his bid was successful.
