Chris Jericho is an all-time great in the WWE. He would eventually go down as a Hall of Famer in the company unless they are unhappy with his current stint. We have not seen him back onboard with the WWE for the past couple of years. He made one final appearance on WWE Raw 25th anniversary in a one-off segment.

But he is very much present in the active pro-wrestling scene with his stints through New Japan Pro-Wrestling promotion. (NJPW) Last year, he started performing in this promotion by competing against Kenny Omega at Wrestle Kingdom 12. We supposed this was a single night for him in Japan which was not the case.

Chris Jericho continued performing in NJPW and also won the IWGP Intercontinental Championship. Vince McMahon was not very happy with this. Later, he went on to create a bond with Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks hinting a joint venture. The Cruise of Jericho followed thereafter alongside the newest promotion All Elite Wrestling.
This week, Chris Jericho appeared in the All Elite Wrestling rally. We got to know about when they will hold the PPV event named Double and Nothing. Y2J made a sudden appearance on this show to declare that he is ‘All In’ for the upcoming PPV. He also signed a deal shortly with the AEW officials to start performing under that banner.
With that being said, Chris Jericho is out of the WWE scene, permanently. He was a cornerstone figure who carried the load for a long time. In fact, WWE still used to advertise him as an active competitor under the Smackdown brand. But not they have moved them to alumni section. This means he is no more a WWE superstar.
We have reported it previously that Chris Jericho and Goldberg might be heading to All Elite Wrestling. This is a newborn company with the financial support coming from a business tycoon named Toni Khan. Cody Rhodes, his wife, and Young Bucks are likely to be the show-runners. Currently, they are in search of a proper TV deal.

Getting Chris Jericho under their banner would be big news for All Elite Wrestling. This could give a huge booster as the former WWE Champion would be a huge attraction on TV. They will also get a big and experienced shelter around themselves who could lead them in the right direction. On the other hand, WWE fans will mourn a lot after the departure of the veteran from his wrestling home.
