Dave has completely changed his stance on Chris Jericho. He’s gone from saying he had a two year rollover to a one year one. The one year option always made more sense, but he was so certain it was two. Now he’s so certain it wasn’t.
My thinking is that either Jericho caught on that the optics of Jericho taking TK for a ride shows how desperate the company is to have stars under lock and key or the one year thing was always true and Dave is just clueless to how long his buddies are signed.
I do wonder if he just made up the two year thing with The Bucks too?
But this is all for the TV deal. That’s why TK is trying to suggest these guys with WWE names are involved in deep ways. You’d imagine they’d announce MJF signing to WBD for the same reason. That’s why I’m inclined to not believe the story of him being under a longer deal initially. I think they’re being pretty cavalier about who is Team AEW in order to get those TV deals, which obviously haven’t been penned yet. I also think this is a good indicator that Omega and The Bucks haven’t signed anything yet.
What happens if TK doesn’t get good TV deals? That is going to be interesting. Having Jericho and Mox under contract as you’re moving to AXS TV is a bit of a tough situation.
