Chris Jericho recently appeared as a guest on the Swerve City podcast with Shane "Swerve" Strickland.
During the interview, the leader of the J.A.S. spoke about Tony Khan permitting talent having a strong say in storylines in AEW.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the discussion where he touches on this topic and provides a recent example.
On talent being able to tweak storylines in AEW: "You let the story lead you; you don't try and lead the story. Meaning you go in a direction of not necessarily what the audience is doing but what you feel that the audience is feeling, and you kind of have instinct after doing this for so many years."
On his recent angle with Eddie Kingston being a prime example: "When we first started doing our angle, the idea was we would end up as a team, Eddie and I, but as we were going along, [I] had some medical issues, and Eddie had a broken orbital bone. Then he had mentioned something to Santana and Ortiz and said, 'Jericho's the one that's been holding you back from the titles.' Well, I couldn't work with Eddie because he was hurt, well, maybe I could do something with Santana and Ortiz because they're kind of locked in with Eddie, and there's a thing there."
