A well-known figure in WWE has sparked rumors about Chris Jericho potentially returning to WWE just before Monday Night Raw. Earlier reports from John Alba of Sports Illustrated revealed that Jericho’s AEW contract expires on December 31st, and WWE has been in talks about Jericho possibly appearing on the January 5th episode of Raw in Brooklyn.
Adding fuel to the speculation, WWE’s Adam Pearce made intriguing remarks during Monday’s Raw episode. While discussing the upcoming show’s card in a weekly recap video on WWE’s official account, Pearce highlighted the presence of three championship matches. He then cryptically said, “Remember, three huge championship matches, who can break through the wall and win the gold medal?” This comment seems to nod to Jericho’s famous WWE entrance themes, “Break Down the Wall” and “Break the Walls Down.”
As of January 4th at 12:30 PM ET, Jericho remains listed on AEW’s roster. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned for further updates regarding his status.
Fan Take: This potential return is huge for AEW followers, as Jericho’s departure or involvement in WWE could shift the wrestling landscape significantly. His crossover impact underscores the dynamic nature of pro wrestling and the ongoing rivalry between wrestling promotions.
