Chris Jericho announced new tour dates with his band Kuarantine set for New York and Massachusetts in April 2026, just weeks before WrestleMania 42 takes place in Las Vegas, Nevada. This follows Jericho’s absence from the 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble match, leaving fans to wonder about his future wrestling plans. Additionally, Jericho is touring with his more well-known band, Fozzy, in the United Kingdom throughout February 2026, starting in Brighton on February 6.
Jericho’s Wrestling Status and Potential WWE Return
Currently signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he leads the faction known as The Learning Tree, Jericho has not competed in AEW since the Dynasty pay-per-view event in April 2025. Despite this, he remains open to returning to WWE. His absence from AEW’s recent events and the timing of his tours suggest he may be weighing options between music and wrestling commitments.
Context on Wrestling Industry Movements and Relationships
Jericho’s situation unfolds amidst a period of shifts in the wrestling world, with reports circulating about multiple AEW signings and high-profile WWE talent appearances at company headquarters. Meanwhile, a major WWE star has confirmed that he holds no ill feelings toward CM Punk, alleviating some of the tension within the wrestling community.
Implications for WrestleMania and Future Developments
Jericho’s music tours preceding WrestleMania 42 underscore the uncertainty surrounding his wrestling career at this moment. Given WrestleMania’s significance, any indication of Jericho’s participation would have major implications for AEW, WWE, and fans alike. Observers will be closely watching whether Jericho shifts focus back to the ring or prioritizes his bands, as his next moves could influence the evolving wrestling landscape heading into 2026.
