Chris Jericho acknowledges iconic WWE moment amid rumors of blockbuster return 

Chris Jericho's current deal with AEW is reportedly expiring this month. The veteran has been with the Jacksonville-based company since 2019 and is a former AEW World Champion. He has been a great asset to the organization, but there are strong rumors that he is rejoining WWE.

Chris Jericho achieved immense success in World Wrestling Entertainment. He has won multiple world titles and has held the Intercontinental Championship a staggering nine times. At Vengeance 2001, he created history by becoming the Undisputed WWE Champion. He defeated World Heavyweight Champion The Rock and WWE Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin on the same night.

It has been 24 years since Vengeance 2001. Y2J is quite proud of this achievement, and a few hours ago, he shared a picture of the moment on his Instagram Story.

Chris Jericho takes a huge dig at AEW

On a recent episode of his Talk is Jericho podcast, Chris Jericho said that TNA's Bound for Glory pay-per-view was an amazing event. He said that the show had a WWE-level crowd, and TNA looked like the second-biggest wrestling company in the world. Furthermore, he took a dig at AEW's shows that took place at the ECW Arena.

“That crowd looked huge," he said. "It looked huge. It was like a WWE-level crowd. The place was packed. I was watching this and, not saying anything out of school here, but comparing it to watching Dynamite when they were at the ECW Arena, which looked like a Tony Condello taping –sorry, it did – TNA looked like the second biggest company in the world, and that was amazing. And the presentation was amazing,” he said.

The Canadian star has dropped multiple hints about his potential WWE return so far. However, only time will tell what the future holds for him.
