🔥 “WWE Wants Chris Jericho’s Final Match?! Stunning New Report Reveals Retirement Storyline Offer!” 🔥
Chris Jericho’s future in wrestling just got a lot more interesting — and fans are buzzing like never before.
A new update from Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter claims that WWE has officially reached out to Jericho with something massive: a full retirement storyline if he decides to return. And with Jericho currently missing from AEW TV for his longest stretch ever, the timing couldn’t be more suspicious.
WWE Is Ready To Bring Jericho Home — With Millions On The Table
According to Meltzer, nothing is signed yet, but every sign points toward Jericho leaning in WWE’s direction. The company reportedly wants him back so much that they’re preparing a special final chapter for his legendary career.
Meltzer notes:
“It’s ultimately Jericho’s decision, but all hints point toward WWE. They’ve offered him a retirement storyline, and many expect him early next year — though nothing is confirmed.”
And WWE isn’t just offering nostalgia — they’re offering big money.
A WWE source told Fightful Select that Jericho would “almost certainly” be offered several million dollars per year to return. AEW is believed to be capable of matching the money, but the decision now comes down to Jericho’s personal goals and what he wants this late in his career.
AEW Contract Countdown: Time Is Almost Up
Jericho’s AEW contract is set to expire at the end of 2025, unless an extension or a freeze changes things.
But here’s the twist: Jericho hasn’t appeared on AEW TV since April 2025 — his longest absence since AEW was created.
That has only added fuel to the rumors.
Tony Khan recently tried to calm the speculation, saying:
“I love Chris Jericho. He’s a huge part of AEW… always welcome here.”
But even with Khan’s praise, sources say Jericho hasn’t been mentioned in AEW creative meetings lately — another sign that major change could be coming.
WWE Crowd Reactions Are Only Adding More Heat
Even without Jericho appearing, WWE fans have been erupting anytime he’s mentioned.
According to one WWE staff member, that level of crowd energy is a very good sign for Jericho’s interest in returning.
And Meltzer reports that multiple companies — not just WWE and AEW — want a piece of Chris Jericho if he hits free agency.
The Final Countdown
So what happens next?
Jericho is staring at the biggest crossroads of his career:
- Stay in AEW and finish what he started?
- Take WWE’s blockbuster retirement storyline and end his career where he first became a global superstar?
- Or surprise everyone with a completely different move?
One thing is clear: Chris Jericho holds all the power right now.
His next decision could shape not just the end of his career… but the future of both WWE and AEW.
🔥 This is the biggest Jericho story in years — and it’s only getting hotter.
