WON: Jericho's deal signed with AEW was for 3 years exclusive. While he publicly said that he’s got money and now he’s here to have fun, the reality is that he was offered a significantly better contract by AEW than what he had ever earned with WWE and still left him free for lucrative NJPW paydays.
Jericho, who was one of the first people aware the Khans were interested in starting a promotion, was still in negotiations with WWE as late as the end of December. His deal signed was for three years exclusive, meaning no big show WWE appearances during that time frame. The only exemptions he negotiated into his deal where that he can continue to work and make his own deal for New Japan, where he is interested in continuing and where they are interested in his continuing, and he can do anything he wants related to future Jericho Cruises. One would expect AEW to provide the talent for the cruises going forward. While Jericho publicly said that he’s got money, and now he’s here to have fun, the reality is that he was offered a significantly better contract by AEW than what he had ever earned with WWE and still left him free for very lucrative big show New Japan paydays.

No-brainer deal for Jericho. Makes a lot of money and doesn't have to work a WWE schedule at his age.WON: Jericho's deal signed with AEW was for 3 years exclusive.

Seems like Turner might just be a rumor. Can't find anything concrete.

WON: Chris Jericho became aware of Tony Khan wanting to start a company and tried to set up a meeting with Khan and IMPACT Wrestling with the idea they could buy IMPACT and have an infrastructure and international deals in place, while the Pop deal expired so they could negotiate a new U.S. deal.
Ed Nordholm said that Anthem was not looking to sell the company. The only deal we know of regarding a potential sale was when Chris Jericho became aware of Tony Khan wanting to start a company and tried to set up a meeting with Khan and Impact with the idea they could buy Impact and have an infrastructure and international deals in place, while the Pop deal expired so they could negotiate a new U.S. deal. Anthem was willing to talk and this was in September but Khan, who at that point was exploring starting up, said that he would start up on his own and wasn’t looking at buying an existing company.

WON: A lot of WWE and NXT talent have adopted a wait-and-see aspect with AEW. There are those in NXT and the main roster, who are talented but aren’t sure of their plight on the main roster, specially tag teams because with the Young Bucks, the division will be more high-profile, who are interested.
A lot of WWE and NXT talent have been aware of this and have adopted a wait-and-see aspect. Several, who figured to be frustrated with their spots have been given more television time on Raw and Smackdown instead of being ignored. There are those in NXT and the main roster, who are talented but aren’t sure of their plight on the main roster who figure, especially tag teams because with the Bucks, the division will be more high-profile, who are interested. Those who went through PWG and ROH and are friends with the people in charge are obviously the ones the most open-minded. Others, who haven’t, are waiting for the TV deal announcement. The ones who are the luckiest are probably the ones whose contracts run out toward the end of this year, either just before TV starts or shortly into it since AEW will need fresh faces. And at the end of the year, it will be more obvious what level AEW will be at and is the mass number of consumers, whether they be casual or lapsed fans, or teenagers who for whatever reason WWE isn’t cool to, are giving it a chance or not, which is the unknown and biggest question.
