Chris Jericho Reacts To Post Suggesting He’s Open To WWE Return

Chris Jericho put some attention on a post that said he’s open to a WWE return, liking it on social media. As Fightful’s Robert DeFelice noted, Jericho liked a post on Instagram that said his AEW deal ends in December of this year and he would potentially be open to returning to WWE.

To be perfectly clear, all he did was like the post. There is no confirmation as to whether his deal is actually up at that point or if he would consider a return to the company.

Jericho joined AEW when it launched in January of 2019 and was the company’s first World Champion. He has been away since he lost the ROH World Championship to Bandido in April.
