Chris Jericho Teases Massive WWE Return with Stern Warning to Old Rival

The pro-wrestling fans have seen wrestlers move from WWE to AEW. But what about the other way round? Maybe it’s something Chris Jericho could do!

Back in 2017, Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho worked on a storyline that showcased a segment – ‘Festival of Friendship’. To honor five years of that segment, Owens changed his social media profile picture.

Now, Chris Jericho responded to that revealing he hadn’t forgotten Owens’ betrayal. And there is a chance Owens will see Jericho soon. But, how?

Well, Chris Jericho signed a 3-year AEW contract in 2019. Considering he has 2022 as an optional year, he may choose not to work the year in AEW. On the other hand, Owens already signed a new contract with WWE. It’s possible that Jericho will come back to WWE to reignite an old feud.

The only question is – will this be something the WWE Universe reacts to positively?

Chris Jericho left the company after losing the main event spot

Reportedly, Jericho and Owens were supposed to battle at the main event of WrestleMania 33. Their storyline and rivalry was one of the most interesting ones that year. Many fans engaged with it and genuinely believed it had main-event potential.

Unfortunately, WWE booked their match as second and not the main event. This is when Jericho knew his time with WWE was done. He didn’t want to continue working with the company if he didn’t get what he deserved.

‘Le Champion’ could exit AEW after the dissolution of The Inner Circle

Even though Jericho’s run with AEW has been strong, it may not be enough for The Inner Circle.

Sometimes, it seemed like Jericho was overshadowing the other younger talents on the stable. Therefore, it’s possible the faction will break up sometime soon since AEW has executed almost every storyline possible with one faction.

It’s unknown how the company would move forward with the dissolution of the faction at this point.

But, if it does, Chris Jericho can definitely come back to WWE and work an old storyline! Maybe that could be his retirement match from the pro-wrestling industry?
