The latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter has revealed more information on Chris Jericho returning in November. The former WWE Champion recently departed from the company following a loss to Randy Orton at “Night Of Champions,” which capped off a three-month 2014 run for the “Ayatollah of Rock-&-Rolla.”
As previously reported, Jericho is currently being advertised for WWE’s Fall European tour, as well as dates for “Smackdown” tapings in the upcoming weeks. While Jericho has not yet been advertised for any “Monday Night Raw” broadcasts, cards are always subject to change.
Jericho’s speedy return to the ring following a tour with his band Fozzy is reportedly due to the lack of roster depth the WWE current has. With Daniel Bryan, Bad News Barrett, Roman Reigns, and others on the sideline, WWE asked Jericho if he could work what is now a mere six advertised dates, and he agreed. He will be working matches overseas between Nov. 10 and Nov. 15.
Editor’s Note:
Jericho is awesome. What a team player. Instant Hall of Famer once he hangs up his boots.
