Chris Jericho is going through his longest period away from All Elite Wrestling television during his entire time with the company, which has fueled numerous speculations about his future. Currently, his contract is set to expire at the end of 2025, although a possible renewal or freezing of the agreement is not ruled out.
Although there have been no recent news about creative plans with Jericho within AEW, his presence continues to be valued by Tony Khan, the company's president, who has expressed his desire to see the former champion back soon. According to internal sources at AEW, the relationship between both parties remains strong, although there are no direct statements from Jericho regarding his plans or interests.
Additionally, it has been confirmed by Sean Ross Sapp, from Fightful Select, that multiple companies, both nationally and internationally, have shown interest in having Jericho, including WWE. Although no formal discussions or specific creative proposals have been disclosed, it is known that Jericho has been mentioned in high-level meetings at WWE, indicating a possible interest in his incorporation.
A member of WWE's creative team commented that the audience's reaction to mentions of Jericho in their programs is a good indicator of his potential interest.
An anonymous source within WWE stated that the former Fozzy frontman could possibly receive million-dollar offers annually to return to the company, although it is also considered that AEW could match those figures. At this time, Jericho's motivation is not clear, nor which path he will choose, but his name is already on the radar of wrestling's major powers.
It is worth noting that a few weeks ago, during the broadcast of Crown Jewel, John Cena applied the Walls of Jericho to AJ Styles, paying tribute to Chris Jericho. The move generated a great reaction from fans, who quickly identified the gesture. This reaction helped WWE understand that a return of Jericho would be of great interest.
