Chris Jericho rose to fame with a win over Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock in a triple threat match, that helped shape his career. The Canada born went onto become the top graded superstar in WWE from 1999 to 2018. Jericho left the company for NJPW and also wrestled on the independent circuit.
He signed a multi year deal with All Elite Wrestling in 2019 and went onto become their first ever champion in August. Jericho kept talking trash about WWE which made the fans believe that he would never return back to Vince McMahon lead promotion. However, never say “never” in wrestling as Jericho indicated in his latest interview that he may return back to WWE in the future.
He said that he could return to WWE if he wanted but asserted that he prefers to work for AEW as he is helping them build from the scratch.
“I did all I could do in WWE. Now I like being part of a company that I’m bringing up from scratch. That appeals to me. I could go back to WWE tomorrow and I know exactly where I’d stand. I prefer being here. There’s no limits. It’s uncharted waters. We don’t even know what’s going to happen from day to day at AEW. Also I think the fans like an alternative. Wednesday nights on TV rock now.” Jericho told Aquarian.
WWE fans can just hope that Y2J returns to the company after his contract expires with AEW. The wrestler is allready 49-year-old but he may have some unfinished business in WWE.
