Chris Jericho addresses WWE return rumors

Chris Jericho is keeping his options open.

Speaking to The Daily Mail, Jericho said that while he isn’t going anywhere at the moment, he isn’t opposed to the idea of a WWE return one day.

“The best thing that can happen in wrestling is AEW. And the fact that there’s two huge promotions that you can choose from just makes it better for the guys, it makes it better for the fans, and everybody in between,” he said. “So I’m not going anywhere for a while, I’m still with AEW for right now. Would I go back to WWE? I wouldn’t be opposed to it. We just have to see what happens. But the best thing that can happen is that you have two great teams that you can play for, and that just makes everything bigger and more exciting.”
