During the last week, there has been much speculation about the possible return of Chris Jericho to WWE, especially after it was leaked that his contract with All Elite Wrestling ends at the end of the year. After remaining silent for days, Y2J has decided to speak up.
In an interview with The Daily Mail, the Canadian legend assured that, although he is currently still linked to AEW, he would not close the door to a possible return to WWE. According to Chris Jericho himself, he would not "oppose" that idea.
The best thing that can happen to wrestling is AEW. The fact that there are two major promotions to choose from improves everything for the wrestlers, for the fans, and for everyone in between. I'm not going anywhere for now, I'm still in AEW, but would I return to WWE? I wouldn't oppose it. We'll have to see what happens.
Jericho, who has been off television since April to take a break, will end his contract with AEW at the end of this year, sparking rumors about his future. As indicated a few days ago, there are people within AEW itself who believe that, once free, he could return to WWE.
With a career of more than three decades in the ring and having been a key figure in both WWE and AEW, the "Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Rolla" faces a new stage in which he could decide between extending his legacy in All Elite Wrestling or returning. In any case, Jericho made it clear that the competition between both companies is what keeps the world of wrestling alive and exciting.
