WWE Legend Shows Off Svelte Physique, Fueling Speculation About Future Plans
In a move that has sent shockwaves through the wrestling world, Chris Jericho has given fans a glimpse into his post-AEW plans. The wrestling icon, whose contract with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) officially expired on Wednesday, shared a photo of himself looking leaner and meaner alongside independent wrestler Viva Van.
Jericho took to his social media accounts to promote the latest episode of his popular Talk Is Jericho podcast, but it was the accompanying image that caught everyone’s attention. The AEW veteran, who has been a staple in the promotion since its inception, appears to be shedding the pounds and taking on a more athletic build.
A New Chapter for the Ayatollah of Rock ‘n’ Rolla?
As Jericho’s AEW contract comes to an end, speculation about his future plans has reached a fever pitch. Will he return to his roots in WWE, where he spent 14 years as a top-tier superstar? Or will he remain in AEW, where he’s become a beloved fixture in the roster?
According to a WWE insider, Jericho’s slim new physique has been a topic of discussion among wrestling insiders, with some speculating that it’s a sign of a potential WWE return.
“Chris has always been a physical freak, but this latest transformation is something else,” the insider revealed. “You can’t help but wonder if he’s getting ready to make a splash in WWE again. He’s got the look, the charisma, and the drive to be a top player in the company.”
The Road Ahead for Jericho
With his AEW contract expiring, Jericho has a number of options on the table. He could opt to remain in AEW, where he’s developed a loyal following and has become a key player in the company’s creative team. Alternatively, he could make the move to WWE, where he’d likely be welcomed back with open arms by a company that has a long history with the wrestling legend.
Sources close to Cody Rhodes, a fellow AEW star and Jericho’s longtime friend and colleague, suggest that Jericho’s future plans are still up in the air.
“Cody and Chris have talked about their futures, and while they’re both excited about the possibilities, nothing’s been decided yet,” the source revealed. “AEW is definitely a possibility, but WWE is also in the mix. It’s anyone’s guess what Chris will ultimately decide to do.”
What’s Next for Jericho?
As the wrestling world waits with bated breath for Jericho’s next move, one thing is clear: the wrestling legend is back in the spotlight, and this time, he’s looking leaner and meaner than ever.
Whether he chooses to return to WWE or remain in AEW, Jericho’s future plans are sure to be met with excitement and anticipation by wrestling fans around the world. With his Talk Is Jericho podcast and signature wrestling style, the Ayatollah of Rock ‘n’ Rolla is always a force to be reckoned with.
