Chris Jericho has finally spokenat least a littleabout whats next in his wrestling career. And while he didnt lay out a detailed plan, his words were enough to raise eyebrows and add fuel to the ongoing WWE return rumors.
During the closing moments of his latest Talk Is Jericho episode, Jericho was the one asking the questionsspecifically, what the future holds for Bully Ray now that the Dudley Boyz have officially wrapped up their legendary run with the Hardys at TNA Bound for Glory. But Bully turned it right back on him. Thats when Jericho offered a short, telling response thats already being dissected by fans:
It was a humble statement, but the context couldnt have been more loaded. Jericho didnt say he was done. He didnt say he was locked into AEW. What he did sayintentionally or notis that the door to whatevers next is wide open.
This comes at a time when speculation is already running wild. Jericho has dropped the trademark for The Jericho Vortex, a name many believed was tied to future AEW projects. And his upcoming Rock N Wrestling Rager cruise features zero AEW branding or talent, which is a noticeable shift from past events.
While theres no official confirmation of talks between Jericho and WWE, his quote now hangs over every theory like a spotlight. It wasnt just a throwaway commentit was a signal that Jerichos story isnt over, and that something new may be just around the corner.
So what does see what happens really mean coming from one of the most calculated minds in pro wrestling? Fans are watching closelyand waiting.
