Chris Jericho WWE return rumors take unexpected turn

Chris Jericho's Surprise WWE Return Rumors Put on Hold as He Embarks on Concert Tour Across US.

The highly anticipated news of Chris Jericho's possible return to the WWE has taken an unexpected turn, with the wrestler instead opting for a concert tour across the United States. The veteran performer will be in California this Friday at the Anaheim Arena, where he will perform at JAMM Night as part of the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) gathering.

Jericho's scheduled performances effectively rule out an appearance on WWE programming this week, leaving fans wondering if their "Ocho" is truly out of the country. In a recent interview with Adrian Hernandez, AEW President Tony Khan reiterated Jericho's importance to the promotion, calling him a cornerstone and stating that AEW wouldn't exist in its current form without him.

While Jericho rocks out on the West Coast, WWE is gearing up for a massive weekend in Montreal, where Saturday Night’s Main Event takes place this Saturday at the Centre Bell. The card features a grudge match between Cody Rhodes and Jacob Fatu. As the roster flies to Saudi Arabia following that event, fans will have to wait and see if Jericho's return to WWE is still on the horizon.

Khan's comments on Jericho's status also shut down rumors of the veteran wrestler leaving AEW, with Khan expressing gratitude for Jericho as a "day one" talent. It remains to be seen whether these comments are simply a gesture of goodwill or an attempt to reassure fans about Jericho's commitment to the promotion.

I'm kinda bummed that Chris Jericho is canceling his WWE return rumors and instead going on tour . I mean, who doesn't love wrestling? But at the same time, it makes sense that he'd want to do a concert tour – the guy's a rockstar! His AEW stint has been pretty solid, too... I think Tony Khan's comments about Jericho being a cornerstone for the promotion are actually really reassuring . It's not like we haven't seen wrestlers jump ship before, but it sounds like Jericho is all in with AEW now . Still, you never know what'll happen in the wrestling world... I'm just gonna have to wait and see if he ends up making that WWE return after all .

OMG I'm SOOO disappointed that Chris Jericho is ditching WWE for a concert tour ! Like, I get it, he's gotta rock out and all, but I was HOOKED on him being back in the ring ! AEW needs to convince him to stay ASAP or else Cody Rhodes vs Jacob Fatu just got a whole lot less interesting ! Khan's words are all well and good, but can we really trust that Jericho is 100% in? Can't wait for the concert tho , Jericho's gonna bring the HOUSE DOWN

omg i cant believe chris jerichos surprise return was just put on hold like what even is going on with this guy? first he says hes coming back to wwe then suddenly hes doing a concert tour idk if im disappointed or relieved lol. but seriously, aew president tony khan seems super confident about jerichos future in the promotion and i gotta give him props for that i mean if awes biggest draw is leaving us and not even giving any explanation, its pretty clear where the priority lies

I'm kinda bummed that Chris Jericho is ditching WWE for a concert tour . I mean, I know he's been on and off with AEW lately, but I was really looking forward to seeing him back in action in the ring . Now I guess I'll just have to rock out to his music instead . Still, it's great that Tony Khan is hyping up Jericho as a cornerstone for AEW - he's definitely brought some big-time talent to the table . But can we talk about how awesome Cody Rhodes vs Jacob Fatu is gonna be at the Montreal event? That's gonna be lit !

I'm kinda bummed out that Chris Jericho's WWE return is on hold now... I was really hyped for him to come back . But at the same time, I love that he's focusing on his music tour – a guy's gotta have some downtime, right? It's always a bit weird when wrestlers try to balance their wrestling and performance lives, but Jericho seems like the kind of guy who can pull it off. Can't wait to see what's next for him... maybe we'll get another surprise down the line

so I'm kinda disappointed that Chris Jericho is ditching the WWE thing, you feel? Like, he's always been my fave wrestler and I was really looking forward to seeing him back in action... but I guess a concert tour is pretty cool too . It's like, AEW must be doing something right with Tony Khan at the helm, 'cause Jericho seems happy enough there . But man, WWE just doesn't seem as strong without The Ocho around... oh well, more concerts for us to enjoy!
