Whenever Chris Jericho goes away, we get sad. We know he’s okay, and it’s great that we get to hear him every week on his Talk Is Jericho podcast.

They could really use him there too. Due to SmackDown’s declining ratings WWE has asked John Cena to come back sooner than expected. So having Jericho on Tuesday nights would be a really good thing for the blue brand.
