AEW is WWE's biggest competitor in the modern wrestling landscape. Ever since the Jacksonville-based company was formed, Triple H has signed several names from the rival promotion. Names such as Cody Rhodes, Mariah May, CM Punk, Ethan Page, Penta, Rusev, and others were once massive stars in All Elite Wrestling. However, they are now under World Wrestling Entertainment's banner.

There are strong rumors that WWE is close to signing yet another massive AEW wrestler: Chris Jericho. Y2J joined All Elite Wrestling in 2019 and eventually became the inaugural AEW World Champion. During the promotion's early years, he was immensely popular and a fan favorite. Unfortunately, in recent times, his in-ring skills have come under heavy scrutiny. He has repeatedly faced "Please retire" chants. However, it seems like The Demo God has no intention of hanging up his boots.

The Ocho's contract with the Tony Khan-led company is set to expire this year, and many believe he is headed back to the Stamford-based company. Interestingly, a few hours ago, the official WWE Vault YouTube channel uploaded an entire match between Jericho and Roman Reigns from 2016.

"He's got a great mind, and he could be an asset still in this business, even if he doesn't want to take flat-back bumps and Moonsaults. Man, 54, doing a Moonsault... Whoa! It's crazy!" he said.

Chris Jericho is undoubtedly a future Hall of Famer. It remains to be seen if he will return to World Wrestling Entertainment or not.
