WWE Hall of Famer Boldly Predicts Chris Jericho’s Shocking 2026 Royal Rumble Return
Rumors have been swirling for weeks that Chris Jericho could be on his way back to WWE once his AEW contract expires at the end of 2025. Reports even suggest that WWE has strong interest in bringing the legendary superstar home.
And now, a WWE Hall of Famer is doubling down on those rumors—with a massive bet.
While speaking with Denise Salcedo, Diamond Dallas Page (DDP) opened up about Jericho’s long-time support of his DDP Yoga program. But then he dropped a bombshell prediction.
DDP said he’s so confident that Jericho will return at the 2026 Royal Rumble that he’d literally put $100,000 on the line.
“I’d bet $100,000 that he will show up at the Royal Rumble,” DDP said.
“I’m just throwing it out there with everyone else, but if Chris Jericho shows up, the roof is going to blow off that place. And if I were booking it, he’d come in around number 10 and stay all the way to the end.”
DDP also recalled one of Jericho’s iconic past Rumble performances:
“I remember when he came back before—entering at number one, two, or three—and he lasted till the very end. Chris told everyone about my program, and it was such an honor to help him.”
With Jericho’s future still uncertain and hype building fast, DDP’s bold prediction has fans buzzing. If Y2J does walk through that curtain at the 2026 Royal Rumble, it could be one of the loudest moments in WWE history.
