Chris Jericho’s contract with AEW is set to expire at the end of this year, sparking widespread speculation about a potential return to <a href="https://cynicaltimes.org/category/wrestling-news/wwe/”>WWE. Interest in this possibility grew when Jericho liked an Instagram post that hinted at him rejoining WWE. If Jericho, 54, does come back, it is expected that he will start with a singles run before eventually moving into the tag team division due to his veteran status.
Jericho’s History with Tag Teams in WWE
Throughout his career, Jericho has often been part of WWE tag teams, partnering with notable wrestlers such as Kevin Owens, Christian, The Big Show, and The Rock. His previous tag team runs showcased his ability to work well alongside different styles, making a future tag alliance a natural step in his career progression as he ages.
AJ Styles as a Likely Tag Team Candidate
One of the most intriguing potential partners for Chris Jericho is AJ Styles. Their history dates back to 2016 when they engaged in a heated feud upon Styles’ WWE debut. Before Jericho turned heel in the storyline, the two briefly joined forces to challenge The New Day for the Tag Team Championships. If Jericho returns, a reunion with Styles could be an exciting development for fans, creating a veteran babyface tag team featuring two of the most skilled wrestlers of the last three decades.
Potential Impact of a Jericho and Styles Team
Although neither Jericho nor Styles maintain the singles spotlight they once commanded, their combined in-ring expertise and legacy could make them a marquee tag team in WWE. Such a partnership would likely attract considerable attention, blending experience with star power, and providing a fresh dynamic to WWE’s tag team division.
