Chris Jericho is unlikely to make a WWE return this week.
WWE is set for a mini tour of Canada starting this Friday, with the company bringing both of their weekly flagship shows as well as the next edition of Saturday Night's Main Event to the country. Amid rumors of Y2J's homecoming, many believed this would be the perfect opportunity to reintroduce the Canadian star on WWE TV.
An update from PWInsider, however, counters these speculations. They noted that Chris Jericho is actually advertised to perform in the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, this Friday night. Furthermore, the former AEW Champion is expected to be there for the remainder of the weekend to take part in the National Association of Music Merchants gathering, so an SNME appearance for him seems very unlikely.
The Wrestling Veteran has not been removed from the AEW roster page on the company's official website. Jericho not being moved to alumni despite the prolonged TV absence suggests that he remains under contract with the Tony Khan promotion, and is another indicator that he is unlikely to make a WWE return just yet.
Though Chris Jericho is not the only name expected back on WWE TV soon, and reports suggest a different star could make his return on Monday's Raw from Toronto. You can check out more about it here.
