At AEW Dynasty 2025, Bandido triumphed over Chris Jericho to claim the Ring of Honor World Championship. Shortly after this event, Jericho was removed from television appearances.
Four months into his absence, Jericho made a comeback to All Elite Wrestling for a final chapter in his AEW career.
Here are seven potential final storylines for Chris Jericho in AEW:
7. Reunion with Bryan Keith and a Strong Comeback with the Learning Tree
Following AEW Dynasty 2025, Jericho criticized his faction for their lack of support and for making sure he kept the ROH World Title. Bryan Keith didn’t take this lightly and defended himself, leading to tensions between him and Jericho. Despite the fallout, Jericho might return to AEW TV with intentions to reunite with the Learning Tree. By bringing both Bryan Keith and Big Bill back into the fold, the Learning Tree could be reintegrated into weekly AEW shows for Jericho’s final run.
