Chris Jericho is the inaugural All Elite Wrestling World Champion and has quickly become the backbone of the promotion. With his new position in the locker room, it seems that the star is now hunkered down. But was the ROH World Champion planning to pick up his Y2J mantle to close off his career?
During the latest episode of To Be The Man, Ric Flair speculated that Jericho planned to be WWE-bound but that Cody Rhodes dashed his plans.
Chris Jericho seems to have the same idea as Ric Flair since he’s recently begun to be more involved in All Elite Wrestling’s internal conflict and portrayal. The star even recently hinted at the promotion cutting CM Punk loose, which garnered support from a WCW veteran.

The AEW star recently recalled an old story where Triple H nearly got him fired from WWE early in his career
While Chris Jericho doesn’t seem to be heading back to WWE anytime soon, the star hasn’t been consistent within the promotion. Not only did he depart on two different occasions, but once almost got fired because of The Game.
During an episode of Talk is Jericho, the veteran recalled being called into Vince McMahon’s office and having a heavy talking down-to after he got a ton of heat for working with Chyna - Triple H’s then-girlfriend.
Luckily for Jericho, he won’t have to deal with any similar issues with AEW due to his status as a veteran and now locker room leader.
But is the door on a WWE return permanently closed, or will he return to “break the walls down?” Let us know what you think in the comments section below.
