The first-ever Undisputed Champion's last appearance in All Elite Wrestling happened in April. Since then, there have been constant speculations about his return to WWE, with Jericho himself fueling the rumors by dropping hints and references. Moreover, his AEW contract is set to expire at the end of this year.

In a recent appearance on NHL on TNT, Chris Jericho finally gave major insight into his current status with the Jacksonville-based promotion. The former AEW World Champion first spoke about his ladder match with Shawn Michaels in WWE in 2009. He then switched gears and reflected on All Elite star Jon Moxley while using the phrase "where I work now," clarifying that he is still with Tony Khan's company.

“It’s hard to say, but I had a ladder match with Shawn Michaels and that one was a really great kind of culmination to the good guy and bad guy dynamic. And then in AEW, where I work now, we got this guy Jon Moxley, he’s a little bit off his rocker."- [H/T Ringside News]

Wrestling veteran tipped for an interesting storyline for Chris Jericho amidst WWE rumors

WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray pitched the idea of Chris Jericho feuding with the equally charismatic and captivating star, LA Knight, if he returns to the Stamford-based promotion. Former WCW President Eric Bischoff liked the idea and believed it could last for a year.

"Brilliant. You can pitch this on an elevator ride in a 3 story building and walk out knowing you built a 12 month business plan," he wrote.

As Jericho's contract nears expiry, it remains to be seen if he will sign an extension with AEW or finally comeback to WWE which would garner a loud pop.
