WWE lays the groundwork for Chris Jericho's return

The future of Chris Jericho could take a significant turn and all signs point to WWE being interested in bringing him back. With his contract with AEW set to expire at the end of 2025, reports are already circulating indicating a strong push for "Y2J" to return to the Stamford-based company.

According to the latest edition of WrestleVotes Radio on WrestleBinge, several internal voices within WWE have shown great enthusiasm at the possibility of his return. JoeyVotes and TC revealed that the backstage atmosphere is very receptive to that idea and that, once Jericho becomes a free agent, the deal could be closed without major complications.

"There is a lot of excitement in the locker room regarding Chris Jericho's return. It is expected that the deal will be finalized when he is a free agent from AEW, and there is significant interest in having him back."

Jericho has not appeared in WWE since he left in 2019 to become one of the foundational pillars of All Elite Wrestling. However, his history with the company is extensive: he was the first Undisputed Champion of WWE, headlined matches at WrestleMania, and established himself as one of the most influential characters of his generation.

At Solowrestling, we believe that Chris Jericho's return is something that can bring a lot to WWE, despite the wrestler's advanced age and his recent performances in the ring, far from his legendary matches of the past. This discussion took place on the latest episode of PRIME de Solowrestling Radioshow, where we positioned Jericho as one of the most striking exchanges that could take place in the coming months.
