Multi-time WWE World Champion could be the mystery man from Survivor Series, according to wrestling veteran

WWE Survivor Series 2025 ended on a surprising note when a mystery man changed the outcome of the gimmick match. Later, Dutch Mantell reacted to the segment, saying the man behind the mask could be Chris Jericho.

WWE Survivor Series 2025 featured an All-Star team of babyface names against The Vision, Brock Lesnar, and Drew McIntyre in San Diego. However, a mystery man's arrival on the scene changed the entire match when he attacked CM Punk and handed the win to The Vision's Bron Breakker.

Speaking on Story Time with Dutch Mantell, the wrestling veteran reacted to the entire scenario. Later, he stated that there's a possibility the six-time WWE World Champion, Chris Jericho, could be behind the mask, as management could put anyone in that spot in the coming weeks.

"I think it's Chris Jericho. I could be wrong, but that's what having a hooded man is supposed to do. It's supposed to make you think, who is it? So, we're thinking too," Mantell said.

Can Chris Jericho return to WWE for another run?

Chris Jericho is a master of reinventing himself, and he proved it to the world when he introduced 'The List of Jericho' and teamed up with Kevin Owens in his final few years in the Stamford-based promotion. However, he gradually moved away from WWE and ventured outside the company.

Later, he made AEW his new home, becoming the inaugural AEW World Champion and spending years as a performer. Speaking on The Tim Weisberg Show, the Men's Grand Slam Champion stated that he's not done with professional wrestling and will step inside the ring next year.

While he addressed his future, he didn't mention AEW, and there's a high possibility that he could return to the Stamford-based promotion in the coming weeks or months if he signs a new deal with the company under its new leadership.
