Jim Ross has chimed in on the great debate of where we’ll see Chris Jericho end up when he returns to wrestling in 2026.
Another episode of WWE RAW has passed in 2026 without the return of Chris Jericho. Reports have insisted the former AEW World Champion is WWE-bound this year, but it still hasn’t taken place. Now, Jim Ross is speaking on this subject and revealing where he thinks Jericho will end up.
On the latest episode of Grilling JR, the AEW commentator spoke on Jericho’s current status and where he believes he’ll land at some point in 2026.
“I think it’s WWE or nothing for Jericho,” Jim Ross began. “He’s happy — he seems to be happy. He’s got a lot of influence at AEW. He basically, to simplify it, books his own angles and he works with the creator guys and they communicate well. And Chris don’t come empty-handed.
“He’s always got a plan, but I think his goal, if it is to leave AEW, where he’s got a great deal — I’m under the impression he’s got a great deal — then I think it’s WWE or he stays where he is. I don’t think the TNA thing plays into it. But, you know, I could be wrong. Money changes a lot of opinion and a lot of sentiment.” [H/T: WrestlingNews.co]
As of this writing, Chris Jericho is still featured on the official AEW roster page.
