Chris Jericho Swerves WWE Fans, Returns on AEW Dynamite
Sean Ross Sapp reported growing belief in AEW that Jericho will return, with 35 years in wrestling and recent talks with WWE also noted.
- On Wednesday, reporter Sean Ross Sapp indicated Chris Jericho may soon return to All Elite Wrestling, with internal chatter suggesting a comeback is possible and the performer remaining on the company's active roster.
- Although Jericho's All Elite Wrestling contract was initially set to expire in 2025, reports suggest his deal was frozen, keeping him with the promotion seven years after signing.
- Sean Ross Sapp noted that while Jericho had conversations with WWE in recent months, no creative plans were established. "He was never planned for the WWE Raw on Netflix anniversary, Royal Rumble, or Elimination Chamber," Sapp said.
- Sources within All Elite Wrestling believe a return is likely, citing recent trademark filings aligned with the company; Jericho has not competed since losing the ROH World Championship to Bandido at AEW Dynasty 2025.
- During a recent interview with GamesHub, Jericho stated, "Here I am at 55, 35 years in, with still some career left to go. I don't know if it's a year, two years, four years." WWE previously wanted a 2026 retirement run.
