Chris Jericho is Still in Disbelief Over Stolen Title Belt

AEW World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho recently spoke with the New York Post, in which he discussed last August’s incident in which the AEW Championship belt was stolen.

Below are some highlights from the interview:

On losing the belt:

“I’ve probably had over 50 titles over the years, including from the depths of the ghettos of Mexico, I’ve never, ever lost a title,” Jericho told The Post. “It means a lot to me. It’s a big responsibility. So to have it stolen was a huge f–king embarrassment for me because when you’re the champ, your job is to take care of the title.”

On what happened in the limousine:

“Now, did I have it in a bag in what I thought was a locked limousine? Yes, but apparently that wasn’t enough on that day,” said Jericho at the New York Toy Fair, where AEW showed off its new action figures and ring sets that will be available this August. “Still don’t really know exactly what happened.”

On the aftermath of the incident:

“It’s almost like it was ‘The Wicker Man’ and the whole town was in on it,” said Jericho, who plans to do an episode of his “Talk is Jericho” podcast on the events in the coming weeks. “Everything that happened just didn’t make any f–king sense. But what do you do? You take a negative and turn it into a positive and we made it the hottest storyline, and a day later it’s suddenly found on the side of the road.”
