After months of speculation and rumors, it seems that Chris Jericho will not be making a return to the WWE anytime soon. According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, Jericho was never a part of WWE’s creative plans.
“We have been told that there were talks between Chris Jericho and WWE in recent months,” Fightful Select reported. “However, at no point was he ever factored into their creative plans.”
This news comes as a major surprise to many fans who were hoping to see Jericho back in the WWE ring. The former WWE superstar has been making waves in the wrestling world with his new venture, All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Jericho has been a key player in the success of AEW, both in the ring and behind the scenes.
With AEW gaining popularity and becoming a major competitor to WWE, many fans were speculating that Jericho would eventually make his way back to the company where he made a name for himself. However, it seems that this will not be the case.
Jericho’s departure from WWE in 2018 was a shock to many, as he had been a mainstay in the company for over two decades. He had become one of the most beloved and respected wrestlers in the industry, with a career that spanned across multiple promotions.
But Jericho’s decision to leave WWE and join AEW has proven to be a smart move. AEW has quickly become a fan favorite, with its unique style of wrestling and fresh talent. And Jericho has been a major part of this success, bringing his experience and star power to the new promotion.
In fact, Jericho’s role in AEW has been so significant that he was crowned the inaugural AEW World Champion in August 2019. This was a huge moment for both Jericho and AEW, solidifying their place in the wrestling world.
With AEW’s success and Jericho’s prominent role in the company, it’s no surprise that WWE would want to bring him back. However, it seems that Jericho is content with his decision to join AEW and has no plans to return to WWE anytime soon.
This news may come as a disappointment to some WWE fans, but it’s important to remember that Jericho is still making a huge impact in the wrestling world. His presence in AEW has brought a new level of excitement and competition to the industry, and he continues to be a major draw for fans.
So while we may not see Jericho back in a WWE ring anytime soon, we can still enjoy his incredible talent and charisma in AEW. And who knows, maybe one day we will see him make a surprise return to WWE. But for now, let’s appreciate all that Jericho is doing for the world of wrestling in AEW.
