Chris Jericho on His 2026 Plans, Rumors of a WWE Return

Posted By James Walsh on 12/02/25


In recent weeks, there have been rumors about Chris Jericho potentially returning to WWE once his AEW contract expires at the end of 2025. WWE reportedly has “significant interest” in bringing back Jericho.

Jericho recently did an interview with The Tim Weisberg Show and here is an excerpt…

Weisberg: “Right around the corner, you’ve got a very busy 2026 coming up. Fozzy is hitting the UK on tour. You’ve got the upcoming Rock and Wrestling Rager — your next cruise is happening. I mean, there’s a lot on your calendar.”

Jericho: “There are always things coming across my plate. And it’s always cool to see. Obviously there’s always wrestling stuff and music stuff and podcast stuff, but when you get some of these other opportunities… You never know what’s going to be coming up for me, but it’s always busy… It never ends. Things happen, and when they happen, they happen quickly, so you just have to be ready to go. But the most important thing is I enjoy everything I do. I love all the stuff that I do, and it’s always an honor to live out these dreams and have these experiences.”

Weisberg: “Well, you did mention wrestling, so I’d be remiss if I didn’t ask — is there some wrestling coming up in 2026?”

Jericho: “Well, you never know, man. That’s the thing. I’m not done yet, so I’m still figuring everything out, and we’ll see where I end up. But I’m pretty sure you’ll see me in a wrestling ring somewhere in 2026.”
