On the latest episode of WrestleVotes Radio on WrestleBinge, JoeyVotes and TC gave a huge update on the impending return of Jericho to WWE, a place he called home for a better part of his career. With his AEW contract allegedly set to expire this October, it looks like we could see Y2J returning to the global juggernaut.

According to JoeyVotes and TC, there is a lot of enthusiasm backstage regarding the potential return of Chris Jericho. A deal is expected to be complete once he's a free agent, and there is seemingly significant interest in having him back.

Chris Jericho fueled the rumors of his WWE return on TikTok

Chris Jericho is not oblivious to the rumors that have been floating around. Normally, when the rumors become this one-sided, it can indicate that they are true. However, there is nothing to confirm that until it is official.

However, Y2J recently took to TikTok to add a little fuel to the fire. On the popular social media platform, he posted a video of his 2013 Royal Rumble return.

If the rumors turn out to be true and Jericho does, in fact, return to WWE, it's going to be interesting to see where he fits into the equation. WWE fans will undeniably give him a positive reception upon his return, but the big question is what his role could be in the grand scheme of things.

When veterans like Jericho reach a certain age, it's believed that their impact is much larger backstage than on screen. With the current roster filled with a mix of veterans and relative newcomers, having a figure like Jericho can serve as a big boost to morale.

With legends like The Undertaker taking an increasingly important role backstage, Jericho could have a huge role to play on a roster that is drastically different from when he left WWE several years ago.
