Chris Jericho defended his AEW World Title against Jon Moxley at AEW Revolution. He was unable to successfully retain his title and lost it to Moxley. It seems there was a reason for that.
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer provided an explanation as to why Chris Jericho dropped the title at the event. Apparently, he will have commitments during the Summer, which will keep him busy.
“Jericho is doing an overseas tour over the Summer and because of that by losing now everyone would know that he’s losing, but if you wait until the next pay-per-view the tour that he is doing would already be advertised so people would assume that he’s losing the title at that one.”
However, nothing is certain in professional wrestling and we do not know what AEW might have planned for the future. For the time being, Jon Moxley is the AEW World Champion.
