Adam Pearce drops a possible hint about Chris Jericho for WWE Raw

WWE has once again stirred up speculation ahead of the next episode of Raw. In the usual preview of the show, Adam Pearce dropped a phrase that has not gone unnoticed and that many have interpreted as a possible direct nod to Chris Jericho.

During his weekly review of the Raw card, Pearce referenced the three title matches scheduled for the show and posed a very specific question that set off alarms among fans.

Don't forget, three huge championship matches. Who can break down the walls and claim the gold?

The expression “break down the walls” immediately connects with the lyrics of Jericho's historic entrance theme in WWE, leading many to believe that it is not just a casual phrase. The comment also comes at a particularly sensitive time.

In recent days, several reports have indicated that Jericho's contract with AEW officially expired on January 1, opening the door to a possible appearance in WWE. Some rumors even point to this Monday's Raw, which will mark the first anniversary of the show on Netflix.

From within the industry, the message is as ambiguous as usual in these cases. There is open talk of the possibility of Jericho returning to WWE, but with no official confirmations from either party. There are also no clear denials, keeping the uncertainty alive.

It wouldn't be the first time that a potential Jericho return has cooled off after leaking prematurely, something that has happened in the past. That previous experience adds an extra layer of caution to everything surrounding this scenario.
