Dave Meltzer commented on the AEW status of Chris Jericho on a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio. This follows Jericho recently liking a social media post that suggested his contract expires in December and that he would be open to a WWE return.
“Contract is up at the end of the year, or late in the year. And there’s certainly been lots and lots of talk about WWE. I know from a WWE standpoint that there is lots of talk there about Jericho. You know, people speculating Royal Rumble. Nobody has officially said anything, nor will anyone officially say anything.”
In October 2022, it was reported that Jericho had signed a multi-year contract extension with AEW that would take him through December 2025. He has been off AEW television since losing the ROH World Championship to Bandido in April of this year.
