Recently, a WWE veteran made a major claim about Y2J that could change the perspective on how people are seeing the situation with Jericho.

Vince Russo gave his thoughts on the current situation with Jericho. Various rumors suggest that WWE and Jericho are in talks to make a return.

He added that it could be his way to negotiate his contract with the Jacksonville-based promotion, while making a buzz around his name once again in the industry.

"What I think is that the rumors are absolutely bulls**t. If the rumor is out there, that is Chris Jericho trying to get more money from AEW. And you know, that definitely is a Chris Jericho move," said Russo.
