The Learning Tree is a villainous professional wrestling stable, consisting of leader Chris Jericho, Big Bill and Bryan Keith. They are all currently signed to AEW.[1][2]
History[edit]
Starting in March 2024, Jericho attempted to form a mentor-student relationship with Hook, however, Jericho was rebuffed, ultimately leading to a match between the two at Dynasty which saw Jericho win the FTW Championship.[3] On the April 24 episode of Dynamite, Jericho renamed the FTW Championship to the "For The World Championship" and dubbed himself "The Learning Tree", where he would sarcastically offer advice and guidance to wrestlers, turning heel in the process.[4] On the May 1 episode of Dynamite, Jericho successfully defended the FTW Championship against Katsuyori Shibata, with the assistance of Big Bill, whom Jericho then agreed to add to his learning tree. On May 26 at Double or Nothing, Jericho successfully defended the title against Hook and Katsuyori Shibata with the help of Bryan Keith.[5]
