Speaking to Express, Jericho commented on Ambrose potentially coming to AEW.

“I have not [contacted Ambrose]," stated Jericho. "Only Dean knows what Dean wants. It’s a grind, and not just the physical aspect of it but there’s a mental standpoint. It’s hard to work matches sometimes four days a week, five days a week. Sometimes you need a break from the business. I’m sure if he wants to come to AEW he’d be more than welcome. He’s a star, he’s a great performer, he’s a great character. I think he would mix right in with those guys. When you get a great performer, it doesn’t matter what company they were before because they’re in a top level."

Ambrose worked his last scheduled match in WWE this past Sunday at a live event in Moline, Illinois, teaming with Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns in The Shield's "Final Chapter." AEW will hold their first event as a company, Double or Nothing, on May 25 from Las Vegas
