Chris Jericho, a prominent figure in professional wrestling, is currently on his longest absence from AEW television since joining the company in 2019, with his contract set to expire at the end of 2025. Despite his absence and no creative plans for him within AEW's current lineup, AEW President Tony Khan has expressed a strong desire to see Jericho return, indicating a good relationship between Jericho and AEW. Multiple reports confirm that several major wrestling promotions, including WWE, are interested in Jericho, with WWE reportedly willing to offer him a multi-million dollar annual contract to return. While there have been no direct negotiations or creative discussions publicly disclosed between Jericho and WWE, his name has been mentioned among WWE higher-ups as a valuable potential addition. AEW is also believed to have the financial capability to match WWE's offers, though Jericho's personal motivations remain unclear. As of now, Jericho has not publicly revealed his future plans beyond 2025, leaving the wrestling community to speculate on his next career move.
