REVEALED: AEW Handbook, Guidelines, and “Disclosure of Confidential Information” Out for the Public

No one was expecting Chris Jericho to become a hot topic in such a bad light. It all started when he decided to call out AEW’s legal official over a statement being made about NDAs at the company.

How did Chris Jericho get into trouble?

Right before Christmas Eve, the 53-year-old star got into an online argument with Stephen P. New. The said personnel has been the one who represented CM Punk and Ace Steel following the events of the 2022 AEW All Out. In an interview, New stated that the real story behind the backstage altercation might never come out as all the people involved are bound by a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). This somehow prompted Jericho to question the very existence of the agreement and a Playbook that all stars on the roster have to abide by.

He also stated that he had never heard of any such thing and he has never followed it. However, this prompted questions, and the rulebook was finally made public. This proved to be an embarrassing moment for the WWE veteran as he was proved wrong in front of his fans. As for now, there have been no comments from Jericho’s end on the situation. What do you think might happen next?
