Tony Schiavone asked about the rumors of Chris Jericho potentially leaving AEW for a WWE return

In recent days, there have been rumors about Chris Jericho potentially returning to WWE once his AEW contract expires at the end of 2025. WWE reportedly has “significant interest” in bringing back Jericho.

While speaking on his podcast, AEW announcer Tony Schiavone was asked about the rumors…

“If there’s smoke to that fire, it has not been thrown my way. And I was backstage with Tony Khan most of this entire trip [Forbidden Door]. Chris Jericho’s name was not mentioned, but that doesn’t mean anything. Tony, a lot of times, will get on the phone with that person and not tell anybody. He likes to keep things close to the vest. I don’t know. I really don’t know. I’ve been wondering myself. I guess I should have asked and then I would have known.”

“You know what? I don’t ask because I don’t want to get blamed if it leaks. So the less you know, the better.”
