According to a new trademark filing from Chris Jericho, one of his iconic WWE tag teams could be reuniting soon in AEW.
In June of 2009, Jericho was teaming with Edge, and the two captured the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship. However, when Edge suffered a torn Achilles tendon, he was replaced by Big Show to defend the title alongside Jericho at the next month’s Night of Champions.
Though they didn’t team together, long, Jeri-Show made its mark on WWE, with the two holding gold until losing to D-Generation X at TLC the following December. The next night on Raw, the two teams had a rematch, and when DX retained their newly-won championship, Jericho was unable to appear on Raw as he was contracted to SmackDown and no longer a unified champion.

Now, both Chris Jericho and Paul Wight are signed to All Elite Wrestling, and according to a recent trademark filing, they could be set to reunite in their new promotion.
