Chris Jericho Injured and May Not Return Until November

Multiple sources are reporting that WWE superstar Chris Jericho is injured and may not return until November. WrestlingRumors reported that Jericho would be taking time off from the WWE to tour once again with his band Fozzy come August, but new circumstances show that he could be taking his leave of absence now instead of after July’s Money in the Bank PPV.

Reports are saying that Jericho has tweaked his knee, which is believed to have happened during last week’s Smackdown tapings where Y2J faced Intercontinental Champion Curtis Axel. Jericho pushed through the match, and still wrestled a great match with CM Punk at Payback, but there is fear between officials and talent backstage that Jericho may have a torn meniscus.

There’s still a chance that Jericho will be on Monday’s episode of RAW, but if we don’t see Y2J Monday night, we may not see him again until he returns in the fall.
