3 Reasons Tony Khan might not want Chris Jericho to join WWE
AEW reportedly froze Chris Jericho's contract to extend his tenure, delaying his WWE return despite his openness to rejoin the company, sources say.
- As of Long ago, Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp reported Jericho remains fully under AEW contract, despite earlier claims his deal would end at the end of 2025.
- Jericho's off-time touring with his band Fozzy is cited as the reason AEW could extend his deal, as 'frozen' contract time adds missed mid-2025 months to his existing contract.
- Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp notes the lack of a public contract text for Jericho, and the specific expiration date remains publicly unknown, often due to 'frozen' or extended deals.
- Fans see Jericho's WWE return as less likely this WrestleMania, as he likely must wait until his AEW contract is fully clear, which may take a couple of months.
- Jericho's outside projects, notably the Jericho Cruise, complicate a WWE return as this year's cruise lacks AEW talent and Tony Khan, AEW President, has hardened his stance on releases after controversies.
