Last week WWE announced that AEW Superstar Chris Jericho will be appearing as special guest on WWE’s Broken Skull Sessions Podcast hosted by WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin and it’s a big surprise of fans as it was first AEW and WWE collaboration. Now, AEW owner Tony Khan opened up about this collaboration.
AEW Boss Tony Khan recently appeared as special guest on on Busted Open with Dave LeGreca and Tommy Dreamer and discussed about several topics. During the show, Tommy Dreamer asked Tony Khan about the Chris Jericho’s appearance on Broken.
Then, Tony Khan said that he never thought it was going to happen and when first Chris Jericho said about this he had thought about it for a minute. But when he came to know that Stone Cold is hosting the show and he didn’t think hard about it.
“I had never even considered this was going to be a possibility. When I had heard from Chris that this was something they wanted to do, I had to think about it for a minute. He and Steve apparently had talked, and Steve had asked Chris if he had interest in doing this program or, I guess, you know, they had a conversation, it came up. But when Chris brought it up to me, at first, I was taken aback because the idea of Chris doing something on Peacock on WWE’s channel is obviously going to give me pause, but when he said it was Steve hosting the show, I didn’t have to think very hard about it.”

Tony Khan also said that he had trust on Stone Cold and Chris Jericho, and they gonna do the great job. He also stated that it will be a great platform to promote AEW for different set of audience.
“Busted Open is an independent show, but I really liked being on with you guys. I really trust you and enjoy these times we have together, and I really feel that way about Steve even though Steve works with WWE and even though that’s another wrestling company that we compete with. I trust Steve immensely, and obviously, I trust Chris. And just like I would trust Chris to do a great job on Busted Open, I trust him to do a great job with Steve, and I trust Steve to be a great interviewer, and they’re both friends of mine, and I feel like it’s probably going to be a very good show. I haven’t watched it yet, but Chris told me I’m really gonna like it. And, you know, it’s a great chance for us to go out and promote AEW to a different set of fans, so I was all for it, and definitely, Steve being the host had a lot to do with that.”
Tony Khan said that he had huge respect for Steve Austin for everything he has done for Wrestling and he’s very excited about for the show for what Stone Cold and Chris Jericho came up with.
“Yeah, well, I’m not sure how it’s gonna work out, but I’m excited about it, and anytime, Steve’s involved in anything. I think it’s great. I love him so much as a person, I have so much respect for him for everything he’s done for wrestling, but he’s also just like an awesome, awesome guy. You guys all have gotten to talk to Steve, and I’m sure you agree with me because pretty much anybody I know who knows Steve has a really high opinion of them, and that was my thought process there.”
