More details on Chris Jericho and his current status with both WWE and AEW.
In recent weeks, Jericho has been rumored to be returning to WWE for tonight’s RAW Netflix anniversary show in Brooklyn, New York and WWE Raw GM Adam Pearce recently leaned into the rumors on Sunday when he posted a video hyping up title matches that is scheduled for tonight show and said, “Who can break down the walls and claim the gold?”
According to Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp (via Fightful Select), memos in AEW went out today regarding the expirations of multiple talent contracts, but Jericho wasn’t among them. Despite that, AEW reps haven’t responded to him regarding Jericho’s current status with the company.
Sources have told Sapp that the relationship between Jericho and AEW is “great.” However, they understood that the general AEW audience had grown tired of him, which led to his exit from weekly programming in mid-2025.
As for WWE, sources claim that Jericho’s name hasn’t been brought up in creative meetings as of yet, and he wasn’t factored into tonight’s show based on things that they’ve seen. Though one source joked to Sapp that it wouldn’t be the first time they’ve been worked.
Stay tuned for updates.
