Chris Jerichos return to AEW turned heads on Dynamite, but a new update is revealing the real reason he may have chosen AEW instead of making a move back to WWE. Jericho made his comeback during the April 1 episode of AEW Dynamite, interrupting a contract signing segment involving MJF and Kenny Omega. Tony Schiavone was already in the ring preparing to start the segment when Jericho suddenly walked out, stopping everything cold. After letting the crowd react to his return following a long absence from AEW television since April 2025, Jericho confirmed he was back with a short message. While the return itself created plenty of attention, new details that surfaced afterward pointed to what may have influenced his decision to return to AEW rather than WWE. Dave Meltzer explained via Wrestling Observer Radio that rumors had started circulating about Jericho possibly appearing at WrestleMania, which led him to check directly with WWE sources. What he learned suggested that WWE was not planning to bring Jericho back in the way some fans expected. Another key detail revealed what WWE reportedly wanted from Jericho if he had returned. Instead of continuing long-term, the plan was said to revolve around a farewell-style run. That detail may explain why Jericho ultimately returned to AEW instead of WWE. Rather than stepping into what could have been the final chapter of his career, the move back to AEW leaves the door open for him to continue wrestling and stay active in ongoing storylines. Now that hes back, the focus shifts to how long this new run could last and what direction his return will take next.Do you think Chris Jericho made the right decision returning to AEW instead of WWE?
