Chris Jericho is a legendary pro wrestler, and he was responsible for much of AEW's early rise in popularity. On the day of AEW Worlds End, a troubling allegation dropped about him that could paint him in an entirely different light.
Chris Jericho and CM Punk and Ace Steel's attorney, Stephen P New, recently had it out on social media. The whole ordeal surrounded the non-disclosure agreements that everyone involved in Brawl Out signed.
Chris Jericho claimed that he never signed any NDA about this. Then Stephen P New fired back to say that a confidentiality clause is in the AEW Employee Handbook.

Haus of Wrestling's Nick Hausman later called Chris Jericho out for having people sign NDAs himself. That got Hausman a subsequent block from the former AEW World Champion.
Nick Hausman later had Stephen P New on his Rumor and Innuendo podcast for an interview about everything that was going on with that situation.
Then, a clip of Nick Hausman from that Rumor and Innuendo podcast went viral. In that clip, Hausman made mention of skeletons in Chris Jericho's closet. He also brought Harvey Weinstein's name into the situation as a comparison to Jericho's situation.
“There are issues with Chris behind the scenes, where I know a lot of people who were hurt by Chris and his actions. You know, it’s very uncomfortable to me to see him lauded like he is and only having the focus on that, because I do think there are a lot of questionable stories about Chris that will find their way out over time when people are ready to tell those stories, that will cast him in a very different light.”
“I mean, Harvey Weinstein won a lot of Oscars, Harvey Weinstein produced a lot of very popular films. Harvey Weinstein is now in jail … I’m not saying that is happening to Chris, but the narrative can quickly turn if you’re hiding a lot of skeletons in your closet."

A short time later, after that clip went viral, an X account re-posted an older tweet that didn't get much traction at the time. This tweet implied that Kylie Rae may have left AEW due to Chris Jericho.
“So here’s the deal, you don’t quit the hottest fed going today (AEW) without reason. I have it from people in the know that Kylie was asked to go to Chris Jericho’s room. With the understanding that others would be there. When she got there it was just him. He made a pass at her (no other details are given) and she freaked out.”

Another tweet was posted talking about women who are waiting until it's safe to speak about Chris Jericho. Kylie Rae reacted to it, as she posted a heart emoji.

During the All Out 2019 media scrum, Sean Ross Sapp asked Tony Khan about Kylie Rae's status with the company. Reports had previously broke saying that she had requested her release from the company, but no other information was known at the time.
Tony Khan confirmed in 2019 that Kylie Rae is no longer with AEW. He said that she asked for her release, and it was granted. That split was also said to be a "super amicable" one.
"She is no longer with us. We had so many announcements going into the battle royal, she asked for her release, and we granted it. She called me and asked if she could be released from her contract. It's pretty simple, I said, 'yeah,' I asked her if everything was okay, she said, 'Yeah,' she just didn't want to be with the company anymore. We talked about it. It was very simple. So yeah."
