Chris Jericho sparked speculation about a possible WWE return after seven years with a subtle post on social media. Currently a prominent figure in All Elite Wrestling (AEW), Jericho has been absent from television programming for some time, prompting fans to wonder about his next move amid ongoing Chris Jericho WWE return rumor discussions.
Jericho’s Recent Career and Social Media Activity
Since joining AEW, Chris Jericho has played a major role in shaping the promotion’s landscape. He became the first AEW World Champion, winning the title at All Out 2019, and later added the ROH World Championship to his accomplishments. However, Jericho lost the ROH World title to Bandido at AEW Dynasty 2025 and has not competed since the pay-per-view earlier this year.
Jericho’s social media post, where he liked a message about a potential WWE comeback, has ignited fan speculation and discussions about his future. The post was subtle but enough to hint that Jericho might be open to returning to WWE after his seven-year absence.

His influence on AEW’s growth and storytelling continues to be significant despite his recent absence from active competition.
Industry Veteran EC3 Comments on Jericho’s Enduring Popularity
EC3, a wrestling veteran and former NWA Champion, praised Jericho’s ability to remain relevant across several wrestling eras. Speaking on Sportskeeda‘s The Wrestling Outlaws podcast, he highlighted Jericho’s professionalism and charisma.
“He’s in the running for one of the GOATs I would say in multiple different eras. Like, he’s such a pro, it’s not gonna bother him. If it did, he would never show it. He knows how to be unemotional, how to approach it from a business. He’s probably having fun with it and if you hear thousands of people chanting something in your direction, whether it’s negative because you’re a ‘pro wrestling bad guy,’ remember, or positive, you walk to the back saying ‘I know what I’m doing,’ and that’s being over. MF is over for sure and he always will be over,” EC3 said.
What Lies Ahead for Jericho and the WWE Return Rumor
The speculation surrounding Chris Jericho’s WWE return remains unconfirmed, but his recent social media activity has fueled excitement among wrestling fans and industry insiders alike. If Jericho chooses to leave AEW for WWE once again, it would mark a significant shift in the wrestling landscape, given his storied history and iconic status.
Until an official announcement is made, the wrestling community eagerly awaits Jericho’s next chapter, closely watching for any further indications of his future plans within professional wrestling.
