AEW World Champion Chris Jericho received quite a bit of criticism for a recent edition of his podcast, Talk Is Jericho, and now the reigning champ is firing back by explaining why he chose to have a certain son of a president on the show.

The November 8th edition of Talk Is Jericho featured Donald Trump Jr. as a guest, promoting his recently released book. Given the polarization that U.S. President Donald Trump causes among people, the guest choice was always going to create some blow-back for Jericho.

However, Jericho explained recently to UPROXX why he had Trump Jr. on the show and whether or not he thought it was a mistake to have done so. In the end, he said he felt like it was an interview he couldand nor should they, because I'm not a political guy."

So now that he has went down the politics lane and had a member of the Trump family on the show, would Jericho consider having a Democratic rival on the podcast to balance things out? According to Jericho, he's reached out to one of the 2020 Democratic contenders (who has also been seen tweeting about wrestling in the past).
