WWE RAW General Manager Adam Pearce has seemingly teased the return of Chris Jericho in a video posted on X, previewing the upcoming episode. Tomorrow’s show will be a special Netflix anniversary event featuring a Stranger Things crossover.
In his usual pre-RAW briefing, Pearce hinted at the night’s matches, but one line particularly stood out: “Three huge championship matches, who can break through the walls and win the gold medal?” Jericho’s former WWE entrance theme was “Break Down The Walls,” which fans took as a subtle clue hinting at his possible appearance in Brooklyn, New York, on Monday night. Jericho is expected to return after his AEW contract ends on December 31. While there was speculation about a surprise entry in the Royal Rumble match on January 31, rumors now suggest he might show up at the Netflix anniversary RAW. His appearance tomorrow could signal significant progress toward his comeback.
Additionally, a former WWE personality stated that Jericho’s return is planned for the Royal Rumble rather than Monday’s RAW. Jonathan Coachman mentioned on X that Jericho won’t compete Monday but will debut at the Royal Rumble with a fresh character. He is expected to be a special attraction, similar to Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar, but with a more prominent role due to his promo skills and crowd connection.
This week’s RAW is stacked with a major event, including CM Punk defending his World Heavyweight Championship against Bron Breaker. Other rumored returns in Brooklyn include Chad Gable and L.A. Knight, adding to the excitement.
