“The Learning Tree” in AEW has a dual meaning, causing some confusion among fans. It’s both Chris Jericho’s nickname and the name of a stable he leads, which includes Bryan Keith and Big Bill. In a recent interview, Big Bill explained that while Jericho is “The Learning Tree,” the term is all-encompassing, with Bill considering himself a branch or even a root of this metaphorical tree.

Big Bill, formerly known as Big Cass in WWE, has a history with Jericho dating back to their 2016 SummerSlam match. Now in AEW, Jericho has become a mentor to Bill both in and out of the ring. Bill expressed his enthusiasm for working with Jericho, citing the veteran’s valuable advice on wrestling and life matters. He particularly highlighted how Jericho has helped boost his confidence, which Bill believes is noticeable in his on-screen performances.
