The upcoming 30th anniversary episode of Monday Night RAW has fans buzzing with excitement, and it appears that WWE may be using the milestone event to set the stage for the future of one of their most beloved legends: Chris Jericho. WWE official Adam Pearce recently dropped a cryptic hint that has left the wrestling world wondering what’s in store for the AEW stalwart.
The “Wall Breaker” Question
As Pearce previewed the anniversary episode on social media, he posed a question that will undoubtedly send shockwaves through the WWE universe: “Who can break down the walls?” The phrase is synonymous with Jericho, who famously adopted the moniker on his WWE career, and many speculate that this could be a nod to the possibility of Jericho’s return to the red brand.
While Pearce’s intention behind the question remains unclear, it’s undeniable that the timing is significant. Jericho has been a staple of All Elite Wrestling (AEW) since 2019, and his involvement with the promotion has led many to wonder if he’s done with WWE for good. However, a potential return to the company he called home for over a decade has been a topic of conversation among fans and insiders alike.
AEW and WWE’s Shifting Dynamics
In recent months, there have been whispers of a possible thaw in the frosty relationship between AEW and WWE. While the two promotions have long been seen as rivals, the emergence of third-party platforms and the ever-changing landscape of professional wrestling have led to increased collaboration and mutual respect.
According to a WWE insider, there’s been a growing sense of openness between the companies, with some even speculating that a historic talent swap could be on the horizon. “There’s definitely a sense that the old rules no longer apply,” the insider revealed. “With the rise of platforms like AEW+, and WWE’s own growing presence on streaming services, it’s not as black and white as it used to be. You could see WWE and AEW working together on something special in the future, and that could have big implications for Chris Jericho’s future.”
The Road to RAW 30
As Monday Night RAW approaches its 30th anniversary, WWE is pulling out all the stops to celebrate the milestone event. A stacked card featuring some of the biggest names in the business is expected, but it remains to be seen how Jericho will be involved.
Sources close to Cody Rhodes have revealed that there have been backstage discussions about potentially featuring Jericho in some capacity, possibly as a surprise guest or even a participant in a high-stakes match. While nothing has been officially confirmed, the mere possibility of Jericho’s involvement has sent shockwaves through the WWE universe.
The Future of Jericho
As the wrestling world waits with bated breath to see what WWE has in store for Chris Jericho, one thing is certain: his legacy will forever be tied to Monday Night RAW. With his iconic “Wall Breaker” character still etched in the memories of fans everywhere, Jericho’s potential return to the red brand would be a dream come true for many.
While WWE has yet to officially confirm Jericho’s involvement in the 30th anniversary episode, one thing is clear: the company is teasing something big. As the anniversary episode approaches, fans will be holding their breath in anticipation of what’s to come. Will Chris Jericho be the one to break down the walls and make his long-awaited return to WWE? Only time will tell.
