Chris Jericho’s Current WWE Run Likely to End in September

Multiple sources have provided evidence that would suggest that Chris Jericho’s current WWE run will end in September following “Night Of Champions.” Jericho, who returned to the company during the June 30 edition of “Monday Night Raw,” will likely be working with Bray Wyatt at the next three Pay-Per-Views, and then bowing out from the company once again to tour with his band Fozzy.

Loudwire.com recently announced that Jericho’s band Fozzy will be joining popular Rock band Theory of a Deadman on tour in September and October. The article says,

“Theory Of A Deadman and Fozzy have just announced the first leg of their upcoming U.S. tour dates! The series of shows is set to begin Sept. 13 and will weave around a number of WWE events featuring Fozzy frontman Chris Jericho.

Theory of a Deadman will be touring to support their fifth studio album, ‘Savages.’ The album follows the act’s 2011 full-length, ‘The Truth Is…,’ which reached No. 1 on the U.S. rock charts but received mixed reviews. ‘Savages’ will see a July 29 release date and even features a cameo by ALice Cooper on the album’s title track.

Chris Jericho may have just returned to WWE, but he and the rest of Fozzy are set to play the U.S. in September and October. Fozzy will also be touring off a new release, ‘Do You Wanna Start a War,’ which comes out July 22. Fozzy’s sixth album has been spearheaded by the singles ‘Lights Go Out’ and ‘One Crazed Anarchist.’ The disc will also include a collaboration with Steel Panther vocalist Michael Starr on the track ‘Tonite.’”

The following dates were then announced for the tour, showing some will exist around Jericho’s WWE schedule, but then becoming more of a full-time tour following “Night Of Champions,” which will take place on Sept. 21.

Editor’s Note:
I’m glad Jericho took the time to make a return work. It’s always great to see him back, and he always gives it his all. A program between Y2J and Wyatt is going to be sick.
