Dave Meltzer talked about Chris Jericho's possible return to WWE

According to a recent report by Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Radio, people within World Wrestling Entertainment are expecting Chris Jericho to return to the company.

Meltzer added that the former World Heavyweight Champion could come back at the 2026 Royal Rumble.

"I will say this, people in WWE believe that he's coming to WWE. For what that's worth. That's not a new story. I mean that's been said before. .. If he debuts at the Royal Rumble, which is something that's been rumored for actually a while, you know work the Rumble to Mania or something, Hall of Fame, all that stuff. I think that if that happens, he's not going to be saying it and he'll he'll want it to be a surprise," Meltzer said.

It remains to be seen if the Triple H-led creative team has planned anything for Y2J's return to the Stamford-based promotion.
