In recent days, there have been rumors about Chris Jericho potentially returning to WWE once his AEW contract expires at the end of 2025. WWE reportedly has “significant interest” in bringing back Jericho.
While appearing on The Torg And Elliott Show, AEW President Tony Khan was asked if Jericho was returning to the company. Here was the exchange…
TK: “Well, Chris Jericho’s been here since the very beginning, and I have so much great respect for Chris Jericho. I do really have to say I would love to have Chris Jericho in AEW anytime. And yeah, we absolutely want Chris Jericho back in AEW and hopefully soon. He’s been great with us, and he’s been with us since the very first event, very first AEW World Champion. And Chris is a huge part of the history of AEW and still in great shape, still a great wrestler.”
Host: “That was a very generic quote, Tony, that didn’t really say if he’s coming. Is he going to come wrestle with you though? Is he going to wrestle with you?”
TK: “Well, I think you got to stay tuned to the show. A big, huge part of the company, and that’s one of the reasons you watch the wrestling show—to see the returns. Stay tuned.”
