WWE veteran lists endless possibilities for Chris Jericho's potential return

The Demo God has a lot of things to achieve under Triple H's regime, as he is a much bigger star now than he was before.

While speaking on The Stevie Richards Show, Richards claimed that he could challenge Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship, may retire after a match with Roman Reigns, and could also return at the Royal Rumble to have a massive moment at WrestleMania.

"He has some cool stuff to do. And if he can end his career, maybe, he ends his career wrestling Roman Reigns one last time, or Cody Rhodes for the title, or a retirement match there (...) I think Jericho, if the timing is right, (Royal) Rumble, surprise return leading to WrestleMania, and having a WrestleMania match that might be his last. Or he might have one more year after that. I think Chris is going back to WWE without the offer you can't refuse," Richards said.

It will be interesting to see where Chris Jericho will land in the future.
