Jericho Describes Reworking Matches to Fit Khan’s AEW Requests

Chris Jericho said that when he and Samoa Joe were hesitant about an idea AEW President Tony Khan wanted for their match, they did not reject it outright. Instead, they reworked the match to incorporate Khan’s request while preserving a plan they could perform confidently, then presented the revised version to him. Jericho described adapting and offering alternatives as part of being a professional, saying the boss makes the final call and that collaboration can make a requested idea work. He also said he has followed this approach while working for other wrestling bosses, including Vince McMahon, and characterized collaboration as important to producing the best possible match.
