A former WWE and AEW World Champion has hinted at a return to the Tony Khan-led promotion after two months. The veteran has not been on TV during the buildup to All In 2025.
The six-time WWE World Champion, Chris Jericho, could be returning soon. The first-ever AEW World Champion has been a regular on TV since the promotion's formation in 2019 but has not been seen for several weeks now. Jericho last competed at the Dynasty 2025 Pay-Per-View, where he lost his ROH World Championship to Bandido.
The following Wednesday on Dynamite, The Ocho confronted Big Bill and Bryan Keith of The Learning Tree and said that he was disappointed in his pupils and needed a break. Amid his absence from TV, Jericho recently shared a picture on X (fka Twitter) enjoying his vacation.
A fan reacted to Jericho's post, saying, "It looks like the boss is ready to make his return to the ring." Interestingly, the former AEW World Champion reposted the fan's reaction to his post, hinting at a potential return sooner rather than later.
