Both Jericho and Moxley are in AEW where the two have had the chance to work together in the main event scene. Moxley is the current AEW World Heavyweight Champion while Jericho was the inaugural top champion in the promotion.
Up until now, AEW has yet to run house shows but rather focused on running weekly television events in addition to quarterly pay-per-view events.
