A recent report said that the former AEW World Champion hasn't been brought up in creative meetings backstage. Also, the global sports entertainment juggernaut has 'pumped the brakes' on the rumors regarding the Le Champion. Another major piece of information has surfaced, which hints that Jericho might return to WWE.

According to Fightful Select, The Demo God is reportedly on good terms with WWE and its higher-ups, and the officials have confirmed the same. The sources also affirmed that WWE talents were speculating about Jericho's return as well. However, there has been no mention of Y2J in the recent meetings of the Triple H-led creative writing team.

So yeah, I could definitely see Chris Jericho coming back," he said.
