Chris Jericho Talks Staying in Touch with WWE, Possible Return

Chris Jericho recently talked with United Kingdom website, The Mirror, in order to promote an upcoming appearance by his band Fozzy at the Download Festival in England this June. During the interview, WWE came up as a topic, leading Jericho to talk about if he stays in touch with the company, in addition to a possible return.

When asked if fans could expect to see Jericho back in WWE soon, he stated the following:

“No time soon, I left last July and I’ve been working pretty much non-stop since then between Fozzy tours and doing the new Fozzy record and writing another book and doing my podcasts and a web series. There are a lot of projects in the Chris Jericho pantheon as always.

That’s not to say that I won’t go back but I have no plans as of right now, just because I have so much other stuff going on that I’m enjoying.

We’ll see, there’s no controversy or animosity it’s more of a timing thing; the timing has to be right for me and right for the WWE as well. When it is I’m sure we’ll both consider me coming back.”

“The Ayatollah of Rock ‘n’ Rolla” was also asked if he remains in touch with WWE:

“For relevant reasons. Once in a while you’ll shoot texts back and forth with somebody, or if there’s some business thing going on, like if they need something signed or a scan for a video game or something like that but it’s not like I talk to the WWE every week and give them my thoughts on what’s going on with them or they call me and give their opinions on what I’ve been doing.

It’s a business relationship and like everything else when you’re gone you’re gone and when you’re back you’re back and if there’s anything in-between on a business level or a personal level I’ll get in contact with them.

I have a good relationship with the WWE and there’s no animosity but it’s not like we’re calling each other every day finding out what we had for dinner that night.”
