Chris Jericho’s current activities have come to light following questions about his Chris Jericho wrestling future. He has been focusing on various projects beyond wrestling, and his next steps in the ring remain uncertain as of mid-2024.
The decorated multi-time world champion last competed at AEW’s Dynasty event in April of last year. Since then, he has taken a break from in-ring action to pursue commitments outside wrestling, notably touring with his rock band, Fozzy. Reports have not clarified whether he plans to return to AEW, or if rumors of a WWE comeback hold truth.
Jericho’s Music Tour in the United Kingdom
Jericho recently shared glimpses of Fozzy’s ongoing UK tour through his Instagram Stories, showing behind-the-scenes moments from their stop in Manchester at the O2 Ritz. This stop is part of a 13-date tour covering multiple cities across England, as well as scheduled one-night shows in Scotland and Wales.

Amid ongoing speculation, Swerve Strickland, a well-known AEW wrestler, discussed Jericho’s status during an interview on the podcast Adam’s Apple. Strickland revealed he recently reached out to Jericho, expressing support regardless of whatever decision Jericho makes related to his wrestling career.
“I actually texted Chris. I congratulated him on whatever his decision is going to be. Whatever his decision is going to be, I’m supporting him no matter what,” Swerve said. (H/T Ringside News)
Despite the passage of several months, Jericho’s future remains unresolved. His name is still listed on AEW’s official roster, which is frequently updated, adding to the intrigue about his status. For now, Jericho is actively engaged with his musical pursuits in the UK, leaving fans awaiting further announcements.
Implications and What to Watch for Next
Chris Jericho’s uncertain wrestling future highlights a crossroads for a veteran star balancing entertainment careers outside wrestling. His ongoing involvement with Fozzy suggests a continued focus beyond the ring, but his AEW association leaves the door open for a possible return or an entirely new chapter elsewhere.
As the year progresses, fans and industry observers will be watching for any official confirmation regarding his path, whether a comeback in AEW, a move to WWE, or a shift toward music and other non-wrestling endeavors. Jericho’s decisions will undoubtedly impact the wrestling landscape given his status and enduring popularity.
