In an interview with The Messenger, Chris Jericho gave his thoughts on Tony Khan's recent social media activity.
Khan
made headlines last week with shots taken at Vince McMahon, Paul "Triple H" Levesque, and Shawn Michaels. The social media posts were made surrounding AEW Dynamite and WWE NXT going head-to-head on October 10.
Though NXT came out ahead in the ratings that night, Khan also
wrote a social media post pointing out that it was the first time John Cena or The Undertaker had ever appeared on a WWE show that averaged fewer than one million viewers.
Jericho
responded when The Messenger asked him about Khan's posts:
I learned years ago that bosses are going to be bosses, and billionaires are going to be billionaires. I've been working for billionaires for 25 years at this point. You can't control Tony Khan. He's going to do what he wants to do and God bless him. He created this company. He runs this company. He also grew up in the social media era. He got into wrestling via message boards online. He's always going to be attuned to that.
Jericho said he isn't going to tell Khan to put his phone away.
"So, you know, who cares, man? He can say what he wants," Jericho said. "I'm not going to tell him, 'Take your phone away,' because he's my boss. Say what you want. Whatever. I think it'd be worse if I said that stuff because I'm not the boss, you know?"
"Tony Khan owns AEW. He can do what he wants. I'm not going to tell him no."
Khan
stated last week that business became personal between him and WWE when, while his mother was in the hospital last year, "many"AEW talent came to him alleging that WWE had tried to get them to break their AEW contracts.
