Chris Jericho is more than 50 years old right now and his body has taken a lot of abuse over the years, and he might not be able to wrestle for a very long time anymore.
That being said, Le Champion has managed to keep himself relevant no matter what. In fact, fans are still happy to see him compete and be a regular part of AEW programming.
While speaking with the Daily Star, Chris Jericho talked about retiring in the future. Jericho made it clear that he won’t take up a purely backstage role after retiring.
“I don’t know what the future of me and wrestling is. I could quit tomorrow, or I could quit in six years, I don’t know. I’ll worry about that when it happens. Right now, I do enjoy the backstage role of helping guys and girls out with their interviews and promos.
There’s a lot of stuff I do backstage at AEW. When we have Dynamite, I get there at 1 and leave at 11 or 12 – it’s non-stop, all the time. That’s fun for me, but to exclusively do just that? I don’t know. I still like being part of the show.”
