Chris Jericho’s Absence from AEW Television Continues to Spark Speculation

Chris Jericho, a veteran professional wrestler, has been absent from All Elite Wrestling (AEW) television for several months, fueling rumors of a potential return to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). According to recent reports, Jericho’s band, Fozzy, was scheduled to perform at All In: Texas in July, but the plans were canceled. This development has added to the uncertainty surrounding Jericho’s future in the wrestling industry.

Jericho last appeared on AEW TV on April 9, when his stable, The Learning Tree, disbanded. He also lost the Ring of Honor World Championship to Bandido at AEW Dynamite three days prior. Since then, Jericho has been touring with Fozzy, sparking speculation about his possible return to WWE. With his contract reportedly set to expire at the end of the year, Jericho’s next move is being closely watched by fans and industry insiders.

In a recent interview on Busted Open Radio, Jericho was asked about his future plans, but he remained tight-lipped, saying, “We don’t know, right? We’ll just have to see.” Jericho, who has been with AEW for six years, has been instrumental in helping the company establish a fan base. His potential return to WWE would be a significant development, potentially setting him up for a surprise appearance at the 2026 Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia.

Despite his absence from AEW television, Jericho has shown no signs of slowing down, with his recent matches demonstrating his continued passion for the sport. As the wrestling world waits with bated breath for Jericho’s next move, one thing is certain – his decision will have significant implications for the industry. With his contract expiration looming, Jericho’s future plans will be closely monitored by fans and industry insiders alike.
