As previously reported, this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada featured Chris Jericho making his surprise return to AEW. This was Jericho’s first appearance in AEW since April of 2025.
PWInsider is reporting that the general belief is Chris Jericho came to terms with AEW on a new deal. According to the report Jericho was not present at the AEW Dynamite taping until right before the show went on the air. Jericho was reportedly driven right into the building about two minutes before the show went live and went right to the gorilla position for his entrance.
It’s also being reported that Chris Jericho filmed additional content for the company after he returned from his segment in the ring, and he did a photo shoot. Jericho also made the rounds backstage and introduced himself to talent he didn’t know.
