AEW star Chris Jericho was one of the first big signings of the promotion in 2019. Meanwhile, the veteran recently revealed if he would ever return to WWE in the future. Jericho is a six-time WWE World Champion.
Chris Jericho's last WWE appearance was at the Greatest Royal Rumble PPV in April 2018. The 53-year-old shocked the world when he signed with All Elite Wrestling in 2019 and helped take the promotion to its new heights during the first few years. Jericho also became the first-ever AEW World Champion when he defeated Hangman Adam Page at All Out 2019.
In a recent interview with Comic Book, Chris Jericho was questioned about a potential WWE return. The veteran said that he enjoyed working there and could return to the promotion in the future. However, The Learning Tree added that his current focus was on All Elite Wrestling, and he doesn't see himself going anywhere else.
“I enjoyed working there in the past, and I can probably work there in the future as well. We’ll see. To me, business is business, but I enjoy working with AEW; I enjoy all that we’ve accomplished since day one, especially now with the new TV deal. We did what we set out to do, which was to change the course of wrestling history—Tony and I and all of us have done that,'' he said.

The legendary star added:
''It’s a pretty cool f**k you to anyone that didn’t think we could do it. Now seeing this television deal and the amount of money we got for it, we’re on our way, man, and we’re not going anywhere. There’s really no reason for me to go anywhere else right now; I enjoy working for the Khan family, and I enjoy working for AEW. I’m happy!” [H/T: Fightful]
