Chris Jericho hosts a weekly stream on his social media channels, Saturday Night Special, he takes questions from fans, and also does a sing-a-long at the end.
This past weekend, Jericho provided his thoughts on AEW’s title situation after a fan asked him if he would like see more championships in the company.
“I don’t think we need [too many] titles,” Jericho stated. “The one thing sometimes that kind of muddles down wrestling companies, and I really found this one when Raw and SmackDown split back in the early 2000s, the world champion is the world champion. You can have two of them. There’s a Raw champion, there’s a SmackDown champion, there’s a Raw Intercontinental Champion, a SmackDown US Champion. There’s too fucking many titles.”
Jericho didn’t seem to care much about the FTW Championship, which TAZ recently revived, debuting it recently on AEW television.
“So I like the fact that in AEW we have the World Title and now we have the TNT Title and then we have a Women’s Title and Tag Team Titles for guys. I think it should stay there. If you want to do Women’s Tag Team Titles, that’s fine. We need to expand the division a bit but other than that, we don’t need any more titles. The FTW Title even is too much. It doesn’t mean anything. Who cares? That’s just me, but maybe some people care. It seems to me it’s not even a real title. So, anyway, you don’t want to muddle it down too much.”

During the same stream, Jericho also spoke about the recent AEW leaks on Reddit, claiming the company knows who is behind the spoilers, calling them an “NXT reject”.
