Here’s One Thing Keeping Chris Jericho From Returning to WWE

Traditionally, Chris Jericho’s hiatus from WWE is the result of him leaving for Fozzy or another commitment outside of wrestling. This year, Y2J has been wrestling outside of WWE for New Japan and has become the IWGP Intercontinental Champion. Recently, he ran the “Jericho Wrestling Cruise” and it was very well received by those in attendance.

It took a lot of work and two years for Jericho to pull off the cruise. Originally, he went to WWE officials with the idea and was turned down. Instead, Jericho went to ROH and other promotions to find talent for the cruise. Apparently, he wants to make the cruise an annual event and that might be a point of contention between himself and WWE.

According to a report from RingSideNews, Jericho was able to get so much talent from a promotion like ROH or Impact because of his friendship with Don Callis. If Y2J can pull off the cruise for the second year in a row, he could ask WWE officials to participate for the event and that would be a major selling point for the cruise depending on the talent.

If the company allowed certain performers to wrestle on the cruise, there would be a lot of potential for some dream matches. Most likely, WWE officials won’t allow top guys to be a part of the event, but someone like Dolph Ziggler could be given the green light. It’s going to come down to Chris Jericho’s attitude because he’s the one running the show.
