Chris Jericho Makes His Return to AEW Wednesday Night on Dynamite

Chris Jericho is back in All Elite Wrestling

This was Jericho's first appearance since April 2025, when he destroyed his TV Time set and walked out on his former Learning Tree members Big Bill and Bryan Keith.

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select had reported earlier in the day on Wednesday that Jericho's return to All Elite Wrestling was imminent, saying discussions about bringing him back to television had picked up in recent months.

Rumors had been swirling for months that Jericho was heading back to WWE after a successful seven-year run with AEW. His contract with the company was reportedly up at the end of 2025, but the belief was that it was frozen before he could hit free agency.

Conversations between Jericho and WWE did take place at one point, according to Ross Sapp, but creative plans were never put in place for his re-debut with the company.

"He was never planned for theWWE Raw on Netflix anniversary, Royal Rumble, or Elimination Chamber," Ross Sapp said. "At the very least, Jericho and AEW have been discussing a return in the last couple of months."
