While speaking to Metro.co.uk, Chris Jericho revealed that he plans to leave WWE sometime in May of this year. He mentioned that the reason he is leaving is because he needs to get back to work on his Fozzy project and explained why he can’t do both WWE and Fozzy at the same time.
“It’s time to get back into Fozzy and there are a couple of other projects I’ve got going on because I don’t do WWE part-time, I do it full-time. I come and go, but when I’m working there I’m definitely a full-timer. There will be no wrestling from May, you don’t do both at the same time. I’ve had a great year which has gone way longer than it was supposed to. It was only supposed to be four months, then it got extended to eight, then 12 and 16. Wrestling will go on hold for a while which is the way I’ve been doing it since 2010.”
Jericho also was asked about the possibilities of him winning the 2017 Royal Rumble match, in which he responded with the following:
“You never know what’s going to happen in WWE. It’s the Royal Rumble, anything can go on. It’s only January and I’m not leaving until May. I suppose I have just as much of a chance as Mojo Rawley has.”
