Tony Khan Heaps Praise On Chris Jericho For Remaining In Shape Despite Medical Issues

Chris Jericho has had a full body transformation in recent months.

For a long time in AEW, Chris Jericho was the target of many trolls regarding his physique. It appears that Jericho suffered a blood clot a few months ago, and ever since has been determined to be healthier and look better. It has been successful, as Jericho hasn’t looked this good in years.

While speaking to The Masked Man Show, Tony Khan talked about Chris Jericho’s current physique. Khan gave Jericho huge props for still staying in great shape despite his medical issue.

“At the end of last year, it’s crazy to think that Chris Jericho was out with a blood clot, was actually stuck in England, and couldn’t fly back. It ended up being the best thing that’s ever happened in Chris’ career, and one of the best things that happened to AEW because Chris came back better than ever, looking better than ever, lost 31 pounds, and looks like 5 or 6 years ago when Chris was really in peak shape.”

“Now he’s back in that shape. We’ve never seen this Jericho in AEW, which is scary because he’s been in so many of our biggest moments and was our first champion. He’s probably as strong a wrestler as we’ve ever had in AEW and he’s better than ever right now.”
