Chris Jericho has been absent from All Elite Wrestling since April this year. In his last appearance, Y2J dropped his ROH World Championship to Bandido at AEW Dynasty pay-per-view. His absence has been fueling rumors that he could be on his way to WWE in the coming months. WWE veteran Vince Russo recently gave his opinions on the matter with Jericho and AEW. The former WWE writer pointed out that The Learning Tree is in his twilight years in professional wrestling. Therefore, it is implausible that he would be looking to waste his time. Besides, considering his recent comments where he threw shade on AEW by putting TNA over, it could mean that things might not be right between him and Tony Khan’s company. Speaking on The Coach & Bro, Vince Russo said that Chris Jericho might be bitter with All Elite Wrestling, and hence, he is allegedly burying the company. Russo added that the former WWE Champion could be looking to put himself in the limelight to kick off bidding wars when his contract with AEW would be over. “I’m not really surprised because there’s either one of two things going on. He’s either positioning himself for a bidding war, or he’s bitter. It’s one of those two things. I would almost have to believe the latter. He has not wrestled since April.” said Russo Check out the full comments below: Tony Khan says the door is open for Chris Jericho to return to AEW Chris Jericho has been one of the key players in AEW’s success.
