It seems like the wrestling world is abuzz with rumors of Chris Jericho possibly making a return to WWE. Veteran wrestling manager Jim Cornette recently discussed the possibility of Jericho moving back to the company where he made a name for himself before signing with AEW in 2019.
As a former WWE superstar, Jericho had a storied career in the company, winning multiple world titles and becoming a record nine-time Intercontinental Champion. With his AEW contract rumored to expire in 2025, many fans are speculating that Jericho might be planning a return to WWE for a final farewell run.
On a recent episode of Jim Cornette’s Drive Thru, Cornette highlighted the potential benefits of Jericho returning to WWE. He mentioned that WWE could leverage Jericho’s history with the company by using his old footage for documentaries and merchandise. Cornette also suggested that a return could culminate in a Hall of Fame induction for the wrestling legend.
Cornette proposed that WWE could utilize Jericho as a major attraction, featuring him in select shows and marquee feuds at the top of the card. He envisioned Jericho making sporadic appearances on TV, building up to a retirement match or event that could serve as a fitting conclusion to his career.
In a surprising twist, journalist Andrew Bydala reported that Jericho may have already reached a deal with WWE for a return. Additionally, there are rumors circulating that the 55-year-old star is also considering a run in TNA. It remains to be seen whether WWE will bring Jericho back at the upcoming Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia.
As fans eagerly await more developments on Jericho’s potential return to WWE, one thing is for sure – if Y2J does make a comeback, it is bound to be a momentous occasion in the world of professional wrestling.
