The Nueve has not been seen since the Dynamite after Dynasty in April. At the pay-per-view, he lost his ROH World Championship to Bandido. Following his loss, he lashed out at Big Bill and Bryan Keith, fellow members of the Learning Tree, and walked out on them. He has not been seen since then, but it has been reported that he is ready to return and is waiting for Tony Khan to give the go-signal.

Fightful Select has now provided more details on his contract. Jericho's contract is reportedly set to expire in October this year, as he signed a three-year contract in October 2022. It has been speculated that Tony Khan froze his contract during his hiatus, as it is now set to run until December. Should AEW decide not to re-sign him, Jericho could hit free agency.

"Thank You Oz, for all the joy you brought to us!! #OzzyRules," he wrote.

Chris Jericho has been an active part of AEW for over six years now. It remains to be seen whether this will continue to be the case, given that he is set to hit free agency by the end of the year. There may be a chance that another major promotion, like WWE, could come in and sign him.
