I know what Chris Jericho says, but let's be real - we all really think he will once he's inducted in the WWE HoF. He'll get a short final run off the back off it or one final match in WWE before retiring

[@peterbahi0227]

Exactly, Frank. This was also before Cody's big return. You know Jericho watched that lol

[@yammak2004]

Nope doubt it y'all act like you started in WWE when in fact he started in WCW I don't think he really cares that much to be honest. He's always been more invested in his music career in podcast than anything

He's literally living life the best way that you can: just living in the moment and enjoying what life throws at you. He's had a 30 year career, done just about everything you can do as a wrestler, and now he's just having fun. These years are like the "bonus tracks" at the end of an already legendary album.

Bonus tracks he’d be writing cause he does that too 🤣🤣🤣

Even though I'm loving his run in AEW, there is still a big part of me that misses Chris Jericho in WWE. He was so much fun when he was in Y2J gimmick & he had some of his best matches there. I hope with Triple H now the head of creative, we will Chris Jericho end up making his way back to WWE & have one last run there.

[@jcrider392]

Love him or hate him, Jericho has got to be top 5 of all time. His creativeness, in ring abilities, promos, all brilliant how he keeps reinventing himself. Mad props from this longtime fan, hope you have 10 more years in you!

I'm sure AEW would let Chris appear on WWE TV if a HOF induction opportunity came up. Maybe even a final match in WWE.

[@pooldead7712]

I would imagine they would wait till his contract is up first before wwe do anything

[@bellereinette2938]

Heres the thing I always said (just my opinion) I always said since the begining of AEW, Chris Jericho will return to the WWE ONLY ONCE he is ready to retire & he'll go out there & enter the HoF & him saying he doesn't think about the future of where he'll finish his carrer only makes that belief more concrete for me ngl

[@DankSwegSkuxxXhayel]

I feel like with Triple H as head of creative a lot of their former talent will make it's way back to the roster, knowing H will likely give them the free reign to present themselves like it was back in the day coupled with what seems to be them listening to the fans as far as pushing the people who deserve it, this really seems like a resurgence of WWE and wrestling in general

[@troystaunton254]

Yeah I think hhh will let the guys who can do promos and craft matches actually do it, but still hold the reigns on the guys who can’t. Wwe is to prepackaged and aew just lets what ever go, and neither are good. But you take the absolute best of aew and wwe and you’d have a decent show.

[@spokenwordillusions5756]

If they the spark now, they will lack the spark in returning to WWE. But it's his choice. For now, he still has time on his current contract with AEW. He did warn MJF about going to WWE, so can't say with certainty whether he would finish with WWE. Maybe he'll finish where he started, at Stu Hart's Dungeon.

[@richardsousa2625]

I think he will come back IF his legacy at AEW is done. He’s said before that AEW is a chance to do something to build something and really make an impact that not many guys that limit themselves to just one promotion can do. But if he is satisfied with his time at AEW then I don’t see why he wouldn’t want to wrap it up on the grandest stage of them all

[@thomassteele9649]

yo i remember this it's so funny now haha good stuff chris more curls too

[@yunglean3465]

If he were to re-join WWE for one short last run, I hope they make it worth his time and give him the ball and just let him run, maybe let him snag one last world title or dominate the ic title scene for a few months. Jericho in my opinion is probably the best to ever lace a pair of boots. Very consistent, always vital wrestler and he can still go in his 50s. He changed up his style when he got older, but he made it work really well and got his new finisher over

[@DigiWorld_WB]

Chris Jericho best moments of his career were in WCW and 2000s WWF dont care what anyone says He will be back eventually we all know that maybe not in ring competition but for that HOF induction and work as backstage. He is already on his last legs of his career it would be shame if he retired in bush league promotion

[@BlazingAce20]

It's crazy not many people don't know Jericho started in WCW. Didn't really get a chance to shine in WCW. Yet WWF/WWE signed him and he became basically a wrestling god (no pun on JBL). Jericho was always a high level wrestler and age doesn't really stop him from performing at a high level. I mean look at some of the matches Triple H had. He was older and was going at a high level. Even Shawn Michaels did it at a high level at a older age. WWE basically keeps you in a longevity so you can wrestle for longer. Not be 23 and about to retire at 30. Jericho was always a big name. Always was my favorite wrestler and always will be one of my favorite wrestlers. Not because of what he does now but how he performs in the ring. He can do multiple different characters and always perform at the top when he needs too. He is a wwe hall of famer no doubt. He will without a doubt be the first ever guy to never really compete in WCW and be a WWE hall of famer.

[@agentcodybanx8909]

There's no way he doesn't get inducted into the HOF so we'll definitely see him back in WWE one day. I got no problem with him ending his career in AEW with that way he's been doing things
