Chris Jericho, a well-known figure in professional wrestling, has built a significant legacy since joining All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in 2019. He became AEW’s first-ever world champion and has held several notable titles, including the now-retired FTW Championship and the Ring of Honor (ROH) World Championship twice. Recent speculation suggests Jericho is approaching a return to WWE, with expectations dashed when he did not appear at the 2026 men’s Royal Rumble. Rumors now indicate a possible comeback at WrestleMania, potentially involving a match at the upcoming premium live event.

Industry Insight: Wrestling Veteran Recommends Jericho for WWE Creative Role
Veteran wrestler Dutch Mantell recently shared his perspective on Jericho’s potential return to WWE during an episode of Story Time. Mantell expressed a preference for Jericho to contribute off-screen rather than as an active performer, suggesting a role within the company’s creative team might suit him best. However, Mantell also acknowledged Jericho’s likely reluctance to pursue this path.
“I would say there is a possibility that he doesn’t even go now, as a talent, let me say that. He may not go as a talent; he could go as a part of the creative team, but I don’t think he wants to do that,” he said.
