Chris Jericho fuels rumors of a WWE return

In the last few hours, Chris Jericho has sparked a wave of speculation about a possible return to WWE after liking an Instagram post. Despite having been absent from AEW television for months, this unexpected action has caught the attention of thousands of fans, who were quick to point out his unusual social media move.

The original post, created by the account @j.m.playground, posed a direct question to its followers: Would Chris Jericho return to WWE in 2026? The timing of this question is crucial, as the legendary wrestler's contract with AEW expires in December of this year, further fueling speculation about his future in the industry.

It is worth noting that Jericho has been absent from AEW since April 9. However, his recent social media activity is particularly significant when considering that, in the past, he himself had admitted that he would be open to considering a return to WWE, as he has never wanted to completely shut the door on that possibility in the future.

Now, with his contractual situation in focus, fans are wondering if Chris Jericho's silence in AEW is temporary or if we will finally see him start a new chapter in his career in WWE. As the legendary wrestler approaches retirement, anything is possible in the world of professional wrestling.
