• “I wouldn’t be opposed to it” – Top AEW Star On A Potential WWE Return
It has been a while since Chris Jericho was seen on AEW TV. He last appeared on the April 9th episode of Dynamite, where he expressed his frustration towards Big Bill and Bryan Keith after losing the ROH World Championship.
Rumors have surfaced online in recent weeks that the former AEW World Champion’s contract with Tony Khan’s promotion is set to expire in December 2025. He also liked an Instagram post stating that he would be “open to returning to WWE depending on the situation”, which sparked speculation about a potential comeback.
In an interview with Daily Mail, Jericho was asked about him going back to WWE. Below is what he replied:
“The best thing that can happen in wrestling is AEW, and the fact that there’s two huge promotions that you can choose from just makes it better for the guys, it makes it better for the fans and everybody in between, so I’m not going anywhere for a while.
I’m still with AEW for right now. Would I go back to WWE? I wouldn’t be opposed to it, we just have to see what happens, but the best thing that can happen is you have two great teams that you can play for, and that just makes everything bigger and more exciting.”
Chris Jericho last appeared on WWE programming at The Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia in 2018. WWE will head to the kingdom for next year’s Royal Rumble, just a month after Jericho’s AEW contract expires.
• Wade Barrett Addresses WWE Future After Speculation Over Nikki Bella Drama
At WWE Clash In Paris, Wade Barrett questioned if Nikki Bella belonged with today’s female stars and talked about how much Women’s wrestling had progressed since she was on top during the Divas era.
The WWE Hall of Famer wasn’t thrilled with the former Intercontinental Champion’s comments. A few days after her response, Barrett was taken off SmackDown’s commentary team, and reports surfaced online stating that he was going to be “off the road” for a while.
Barrett took to X deny the reports and revealed that he had a vacation planned months ago.
“I usually ignore BS reports like this, but it’s causing needless hate to be spewed towards people I work with.
WWE have kindly given me a couple of weeks off for personal time (booked nine months ago), and then I’m back to business as usual. A complete non-story. The end.”
On Friday, Wade Barrett had tweeted that he had sorted things out with Nikki Bella after she claimed that he was avoiding her on RAW.
