Chris Jericho could follow the footsteps of John Cena.
Fans have been anticipating the former AEW World Champion to make his return to WWE for some time now. The rumors have been fuelled by his prolonged absence from Tony Khan's promotion, and none of the involved parties committing to an answer about his future in the wrestling business.
During a recent interview with Loaded Magazine, the wrestling veteran discussed his various ventures apart wrestling. When asked about taking a break from the industry after his first WWE run, Chris Jericho explained that doing anything for too long reduces its value:
"I remember saying at that time that if you loved eating pizza, even if you ate the best pizza in the world, at some point you’d say, 'I’ve had enough. I need to take a break for a while.' There was no bitterness. I just felt I needed to step away. There were other things to do. I needed to cleanse my mind and clear my head. That’s kind of how Fozzy got going."
If that didn't already sound like the former WWE star was intending to stay away from wrestling altogether for a while after criticism of his AEW run of late, Chris Jericho said that he would like to be involved more in the acting world when asked if there was a dream he was yet to chase:
"I’d like to do more acting. If you can make it to a high level in wrestling- and I think I have- and you’re playing a character, that’s acting. I have about four acting projects in the can, waiting to go at the moment."
The Man of 1,004 Holds already has one acting project lined up to be released this year where he is sharing the screen with Nicole Kidman among others.
Do you think these latest remarks from the 55-year-old are a hint of what his main focus would be moving forward or it's a deception to throw people off before his wrestling return?
