Questions about Chris Jericho’s comeback have arisen since the end of Fozzy’s tour, leading many to seek a Chris Jericho AEW television return update. However, recent remarks indicate there are currently no concrete plans for Jericho to reappear on AEW programming in the immediate future.
No Timetable Set Following Fozzy’s Recent Tour
Chris Jericho, recognized as an original pillar of All Elite Wrestling and a former AEW World Champion, has been absent from live AEW shows due to his commitments with his band, Fozzy. Despite fan anticipation, Dave Meltzer addressed the situation during an episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, stating,
“Nothing really new with Jericho, other than he played at Crusher Fest on Saturday [May 31, 2025],”
—Dave Meltzer, Wrestling Journalist. Meltzer elaborated that Jericho’s schedule has kept him away and, as of now, there are no definite plans for his AEW return.
Jericho’s Focus Beyond the Ring
While away from wrestling, Jericho has remained active, involving himself in television projects during Fozzy’s tour hiatus. As Meltzer explained,
“No, his Fozzy tour is over, so right now, he’s done some TV work while he’s been gone—a couple of TV shows that he filmed. But as far as coming back to AEW, there’s nothing on the table right now.”
—Dave Meltzer, Wrestling Journalist. Even though Jericho’s touring left him technically free on certain dates, he chose to take a break from wrestling for the time being.
Potential for Future AEW Storylines
Jericho’s most recent appearance on AEW television took place earlier in the year, and it remains uncertain when or how the company will reintroduce him. Known in AEW circles as “The Ocho,” his eventual return could lead to renewed storylines or a new direction for the veteran star. As the situation stands, however, AEW has not outlined any imminent creative plans for Jericho’s reentry into televised action.
The ongoing pause in Jericho’s AEW career leaves his next move unclear, with both the wrestler and the organization apparently content to wait for the right opportunity before resuming his on-screen presence.
