Je’Von Evans Breaks Silence on Chris Jericho WWE Return Talk—‘That Would Be Insane’
Je’Von Evans isn’t hiding his excitement as speculation grows around a possible Chris Jericho return to WWE—and his reaction has fans talking. With rumors swirling about Jericho potentially entering the 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble, Evans addressed the buzz during a recent appearance on the Cheap Heat podcast. Asked how he’d react if Jericho’s iconic entrance music suddenly hit, Evans painted a vivid picture.
He admitted he has no inside information but said the moment would likely leave him standing in the ring, processing what was happening before instinct took over. If Jericho showed up, Evans believes things would turn physical fast.
For Evans, the idea goes beyond a dream match. He revealed he’s never met Jericho in person but grew up watching him, making the possibility of sharing the ring feel surreal.
Jericho has been absent from All Elite Wrestling since April 2025, adding fuel to ongoing WWE comeback speculation. The veteran further teased fans last month by saying, “You never know,” when asked about returning to WWE.
Jericho’s last WWE match came in 2018, when he entered as the final participant in the 50-Man Greatest Royal Rumble, ultimately won by Braun Strowman. Notably, a Royal Rumble victory remains one of the few major achievements missing from Jericho’s legendary resume.
Meanwhile, Evans has already been confirmed for today’s Men’s Royal Rumble match—setting the stage for what could become a viral moment if rumors turn into reality.
As the countdown to the Royal Rumble continues, fans are left wondering: will Chris Jericho shock the WWE Universe one more time?
