Will Chris Jericho finally return to WWE next weekend at the Royal Rumble? A certain WWE Hall of Famer believes that to be the case.
On the latest episode of Grilling JR, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross was asked if he believed we would see Chris Jericho return next weekend at the Royal Rumble. The AEW commentator didn’t mince words.
“Oh, hell yeah. No brainer,” Jim Ross said. “I mean, Chris made it very public that he wants to go back to WWE and seemingly finish out there, and he’s another one that’s a credit to the locker room, works his ass off, and he’ll certainly be missed if he does leave. I haven’t talked to Chris. I have no concrete information, insider info, and all that good shit. I just think that he will.
“I think he’s going to do really well, and he’s coming along at a good time. They need to. He’s a fresh piece of talent. So it’ll be good. It’ll be good. I like it when talents move around a little bit. I think that’s good.” [H/T: WrestlingNews.co]
As of this writing, Chris Jericho is still on the official AEW roster page, which is typically a strong indication that he’s still under contract to the company.
