Chris Jericho has been in the professional wrestling business for decades now and he shocked the world when he signed with All Elite Wrestling in 2019. Jericho has not appeared on AEW programming since April of 2025, and everyone’s been wondering what his next move will be.
Fightful Select is reporting that there’s a growing belief among sources in AEW that Chris Jericho will be returning to the company. There’s been no word on a possible WWE return for Chris Jericho at this point in time. However, there has been a lot of internal chatter about Jericho possibly returning to All Elite Wrestling tonight.
It was noted that there absolutely have been talks between Chris Jericho and WWE in recent months, but at no point were creative plans set for him. The word is that Jericho was never planned for the WWE Raw anniversary on Netflix, the Royal Rumble, or Elimination Chamber.
Jericho recently filed to trademark “Cornerstone” which led to a lot of speculation regarding his future as the trademark would seemingly make more sense for him in AEW. It was noted that at the very least Jericho and AEW have been discussing a potential return over the last few months.
It’s been almost a year since Jericho has wrestled as he last stepped into the ring when he dropped the ROH World Championship to Bandido at the AEW Dynasty pay-per-view on 4/6/25.
Stay tuned for updates.
