Chris Jericho Says AEW Is Holding More Production Meetings To Cut Down On Similar Segments

Chris Jericho knows the criticisms of AEW and he wants to correct them.

Many fans have criticized AEW for having similar segments throughout the show, whether it’s multiple mult-man brawls or the same moves being used in different matches.

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Jericho addressed those criticisms and said AEW is taking steps to clean up the problems fans have noted.

“I am involved in some of the overall backstage ideas and thoughts. We have a production meeting now before the show that wasn’t happening a lot. We have an agents meeting and coaches meeting before the show that wasn’t happening a lot. The reason for this is so we don’t have the same thing happening twice. We don’t want to have a beatdown with a coffee cup in segment two and a beatdown with a coffee cup in segment three because nobody coordinated that with anyone else. You’ll see a lot more of that because we realized we are doing some similar things in the same show and how can we eliminate that? If Jericho is worried about his stuff and Kenny (Omega) and Don (Callis) are worried about their stuff and Cody (Rhodes) is worried about his stuff, we know what we’re doing but we don’t express that to each other and sometimes things are similar. We’ve really been working on that and it’s been paying off to where we’re not stepping on each other’s toes and still allowing everyone to be creative and have awesome ideas,” said Jericho.

Jericho didn’t say when more production meetings began taking place.

Jericho is set to lead The Inner Circle into Blood & Guts against The Pinnacle on the May 5 episode of AEW Dynamite. You can view the current lineup for the card by clicking here.
