During an appearance on Talk is Jericho, Jeff Jarrett discussed various aspects of his career, including his decision to sign with AEW, as well as other topics.

During the interview, Jarrett discussed how he ended up wrestling for AEW after signing on to be the company’s Director of Business Development.

“I did Ric Flair’s Last Match, then out of the blue, just kind of having conversations with the place you built,” Jarrett said to Jericho. “That was all on, I guess you could say my day job, the Director of Business Development. I’m very familiar with Universal Studios, obviously the live event business, I’m a third-generation promoter, I’ve got some international projects that have been in the works for four, five years, others that have been going twelve months. Those conversations took place, and then the funny thing, on the way to the bread store, I was asked ‘Hey man. You want to put on your boots again?’ And here we are.”
