Where is Jericho?

He's at home, chilling, doing his podcast, doing the occasional concert. He has not been backstage of late, and we haven't heard of what his creative plans are or would be. I've always heard a lot of his creative is with Tony Khan directly. His deal is up at the end of the year, but I'm not sure if any of it has been frozen with time off. I think his days as a top singles talent in AEW are behind him, unless he finds another way to reinvent himself.

How long was Roman's Reign(no pun intended) when he first won the belt in 2020?? And who do you think they initially thought would dethrone him if Cody hadn't left AEW?

It was over three years, but I don't think they had a definitive end in sight when he won the title. Everything that I heard was that they knew this was going to be his defining run, and the one they knew they were trying to make a reality for five years. I also had never heard of anyone else that was supposed to win the title from Roman Reigns. I think that had Cody Rhodes not come along, there's a possibility it would have been Sami Zayn, or they would have fast tracked Bron Breakker.

Is Keith Lee still injured?/Do u think we will see him in an AEW ring again?

The last update from Keith Lee is that he was fine and awaiting a return. I do think we could see him in an AEW ring again, but that isn't based on anything indicating we will. I know his name has been tossed around here and there. I feel there's a lot of meat on the bone with his history with Swerve.
