Chris Jericho continues to be officially linked with All Elite Wrestling (AEW), as confirmed by his ongoing listing on AEW’s current roster page. This solidifies that Jericho is still under contract with AEW, dispelling rumors of his involvement in the WWE Elimination Chamber pay-per-view event. The AEW website regularly updates its roster, reinforcing that Jericho has not been cleared for any WWE appearance during this time.
AEW Extends Jericho’s Contract Following Time Off
AEW has reportedly extended Jericho’s existing contract beyond its original February 28 expiration date, accounting for his recent time away from wrestling. Sources indicated this extension means Jericho was not intended to be the mysterious figure inside the crate at WWE’s Elimination Chamber event. Earlier reports also stated that AEW had frozen Jericho’s contract last month, further signaling no imminent WWE involvement.
Jericho’s Ongoing Absence from AEW Television
Jericho has been absent from AEW programming since April 2025, when he announced to his stablemates Bryan Keith and Big Bill that he would be taking time off. There is no current word on when Jericho will return to AEW broadcasts, but fans and observers await updates about his future role with AEW as information becomes available.
