One of AEW's original top stars and former champions, Chris Jericho, will be hitting the stage soon at an upcoming non-wrestling event. The appearance will take place amid rumors about The Learning Tree's potential All Elite Wrestling departure and subsequent WWE jump.

Earlier this year, Chris Jericho liked a social media post noting the expiration of his All Elite Wrestling contract at the end of 2025, and the possibility of him returning to the sports entertainment juggernaut afterwards. Subsequently, rumors began circulating that the veteran's time in AEW was potentially coming to an end soon.

Recent reports claim that WWE may be offering Y2J a retirement run. Considering his continued on-screen hiatus in AEW, and even some of his recent interview remarks in that context, his crossing over seems like an increasingly likely possibility. While away from the squared circle, Jericho has been occupied with various non-wrestling projects and appearances. The inaugural All Elite Wrestling World Champion is scheduled to perform alongside his band Kuarantine this very Saturday, December 6, in Reading, PA.

Late last month, Tony Khan appeared in an interview with Adam's Apple NYC, where he was asked about Chris Jericho's future. The AEW head honcho reiterated his prior remarks, appreciating the veteran for his contributions and value to the company, and even stated that he would like the latter to hang up his boots while working for All Elite Wrestling, whenever the time comes.

“We love having Chris in [All Elite Wrestling], and I would say that absolutely, I would love it if Chris’ final matches eventually — whenever Chris someday would want to hang it up — were in [All Elite Wrestling]. But I also don't think Chris is really near that point. He's had a great run with us. He continues to be a big part of [All Elite Wrestling], and I love Chris. In and out of the ring.” [H/T WrestlePurists on X]

It remains to be seen if fans will witness Chris Jericho again in All Elite Wrestling.
