Chris Jericho, currently an AEW star, has attracted attention after hints on social media indicated he might be open to returning to WWE. With his contract ending later this year, a WWE comeback for Jericho could bring new opportunities for both the wrestler and the company’s roster.
Jericho’s time in AEW was marked by leading several stables, suggesting that if he returns to WWE, he may once again take charge of a faction. This potential new group could reshape WWE’s landscape and bring fresh storylines.
Veteran Alliances: The Role of AJ Styles
One notable possibility is a reunion with AJ Styles, Jericho’s former WWE tag partner and rival. Their initial partnership in 2016 was brief, ending with Jericho turning on Styles, which led to a high-profile match at WrestleMania 32.
Nearly ten years later, their alliance could be rekindled, with Jericho as the experienced leader and spokesperson, while Styles acts as the dynamic frontman. Together, they could mentor younger talent and form a powerful faction that blends veteran presence with emerging stars.
Potential Impact and Future Prospects
If Jericho returns to WWE and revives such partnerships, it could introduce a new era of faction-based storylines. The combination of Jericho’s leadership and Styles’ in-ring skill would attract both longtime fans and new viewers. This faction could significantly influence WWE programming and establish a fresh platform for upcoming talents.
