It was recently reported that Jericho filed a police report saying that a title belt was missing, though whether or not it was simply lost or stolen was not determined. What also was not determined at the time of the police report being filed was whether or not the missing title was the AEW World Championship belt, but Jericho tweeted out a video saying that it was AEW title that was stolen and that he would launch a “worldwide investigation.”
According to Jeffrey Burlew, Tallahassee couldn’t confirm whether or not the title was found immediately after the Facebook post was deleted, saying it was an “open and active” case.
