Chris Jericho addressed rumors that he could possibly return to WWE in a new interview. As noted Jericho grabbed some headlines after he liked an Instagram post suggesting that his AEW contract was expiring in December and was open to a WWE return. Jericho was asked about the rumored by the Daily Mail at Halloween Horror Nights (video posted by Denise Salcedo) and was asked about possibly returning to WWE.
“The best thing that can happen to wrestling is AEW,” Jericho said (per Fightful). “And the fact that there are two huge promotions that you can choose from just makes it better for the guys, makes it better for the fans, and everybody in between. I’m not going anywhere for a long while. I’m still with AEW for right now.”
He continued, “Would I go back to WWE? I wouldn’t be opposed to it. We just have to see what happens. The best thing that can happen is to have two great teams that you can play for, and that just makes everything bigger and more exciting.”
Jericho was reported last week to have been conversations backstage in WWE about a potential Jericho return and that Jericho was believed to have reached out to WWE to gauge interest in him once his AEW deal expires.
