The WWE universe is abuzz with speculation surrounding the potential return of wrestling legend Chris Jericho. While some fans believed Jericho’s AEW status would be a definitive indication of his WWE intentions, new information suggests the situation may be more complex than initially thought.
Wrestling Inc.’s Initial Report
In a recent article, Wrestling Inc. reported on the uncertainty surrounding Jericho’s AEW status. According to sources, Jericho’s AEW contract has a clause that would allow him to pursue opportunities elsewhere, including a potential return to WWE. However, the report also suggested that Jericho may not be interested in leaving AEW, citing his loyalty to the company and the success he has achieved since joining.
WWE’s Interest in Jericho
Insiders close to the WWE have revealed that the company has indeed expressed interest in re-signing Jericho, who has a storied history with the organization. His iconic feud with Edge and the unforgettable moments he shared with The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin are just a few reasons why WWE may want to bring him back.
According to a WWE insider, “The WWE is always looking for ways to shake things up and inject new life into their storylines. With Chris Jericho’s unique blend of charisma and in-ring ability, he would be a valuable addition to their roster. However, it remains to be seen whether Jericho is interested in returning to the company he once called home.”
Jericho’s AEW Success
Jericho’s success in AEW cannot be overstated. Since joining the company, he has been involved in several high-profile feuds, including a memorable rivalry with MJF. His ability to connect with the AEW audience and deliver memorable performances has made him a fan favorite in the company.
However, despite his success in AEW, there are rumors that Jericho may be growing tired of the company’s creative direction. Sources close to Cody Rhodes have revealed that Jericho has been expressing his frustrations with the lack of direction in AEW’s storylines and the limited opportunities for main event stars.
According to a source close to Cody Rhodes, “Chris Jericho has been feeling a bit stagnant in AEW. He’s been looking for ways to break free from the same old storylines and explore new creative avenues. If he’s not happy with the direction of the company, it’s possible he may be open to exploring other opportunities.”
What’s Next for Jericho?
As the rumors surrounding Jericho’s WWE return continue to swirl, one thing is clear: the wrestling world is eagerly awaiting his next move. Will he choose to remain loyal to AEW, or will he take the leap and join the WWE? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – Chris Jericho’s return to the WWE would be a major storyline for the company.
In the meantime, WWE fans can only speculate about the possibilities. Would Jericho reunite with his old friend Edge, or would he team up with a new partner to take on the likes of Roman Reigns? The possibilities are endless, and the wrestling world is on the edge of their seats waiting to find out.
In a statement to Wrestling Inc., a WWE spokesperson refused to comment on the rumors surrounding Jericho’s potential return, saying only that “the WWE is always looking for ways to grow and improve our roster. We’ll be watching Chris Jericho’s situation closely and will make a decision based on what’s best for the company.”
