Chris Jericho has just made an interesting reference to the WWE Royal Rumble through social media. This comes at an interesting time, as reports have mentioned how the company has offered him a return deal.
Jericho has been on a hiatus from AEW since April. There has been no information about him re-signing with the company, as his deal is set to expire by the end of the year. This has led to rumors and speculation about a return to the Stamford-based promotion becoming rampant. A recent report has mentioned how they have offered him a retirement storyline.
Chris Jericho has taken to Instagram as he reposted highlights of one of his old matches. This was his bout with Chris Benoit at the 2001 Royal Rumble pay-per-view. This comes at an interesting time, as there has been speculation that he could make his return to WWE at the Royal Rumble PLE early next year. It remains to be seen whether this post was merely a coincidence.
The video can be reposted can be seen below, while his Instagram Story can be found here.
The crowd chanted about Chris Jericho during Survivor Series
Last night, this year’s edition of Survivor Series: WarGames took place at Petco Park in San Diego. This featured four blockbuster matches, which included the men’s and women’s Survivor Series matches and two major title defenses.
After another successful show, Triple H was around as he was part of the post-show festivities. During this moment, the crowd behind the desk began to chant “Y2J” as they conducted the post-show analysis. He wasn’t the only AEW star they were cheering for, as chants for Adam Copeland (FKA Edge) were also abundant.
It will be interesting to see how all of this plays out and whether fans will get one final Chris Jericho run in WWE by next year. Several stars have left AEW in hopes of having another stint with the Stamford-based promotion, so this would not be a complete shocker.
