5 Former WWE Superstars who will not return to the company

#2 Chris Jericho has made it clear that he doesn't want to return to WWE

There was a time when Vince McMahon and Chris Jericho had a close relationship. So much so, that he asked McMahon's permission first when Jericho performed for NJPW.

It appears that those days are over. The former AEW World Champion has publicly claimed many times that he won't return to the company where he famously became the Undisputed Champion.

During a live stream on his Youtube Channel over the summer, Jericho confirmed that he wasn't looking to return to WWE any time soon.

“It’s not going to happen. I'm really enjoying being in AEW. I loved my time in WWE, I love Vince McMahon, I learned a lot. I had a lot of fun, but listen, you can’t stay in the same place forever. You become stagnant if you do and I think you need to push yourself to do something new. The fact that AEW was live without a net when I first showed up and all of us have done such a great job of promoting this brand and promoting this company.”

The former WWE Champion recently talked about how disappointed he was following his WrestleMania 33 match, which ultimately caused him to walk away. Jericho has since become a huge part of AEW and the reason that the promotion has succeeded in their first year.
