Chris Jericho Says “It’ll Be a Long Time Before I Go Back” to WWE

Chris Jericho was interviewed by the Washington Post and when asked about his return to WWE, he said:

Jericho, more ripped than your average singer, is booked for a couple of overseas WWE shows in the summer but is unsure when he’ll make another lengthy return.

“It’ll be a long time before I go back,” he said. “If I ever do go back, if I never go back, it’s fine. If I never wrestle another match, it wouldn’t bother me.”

Jericho has been known to make statements like that in the past to help make his return a surprise, so it should be taken “with a grain of salt.”

Jericho will be wrestling at WWE’s two live events in Japan on June 30 and July 1, but that doesn’t mean that he’ll be back on TV right away (if at all). However, the expectation has been that he will be back.

His last tour date with Fozzy is on June 24.
