Chris Jericho Awaiting Creative Plans for AEW Return – Chris Jericho has been notably absent from AEW programming since his loss to Bandido at AEW Dynasty 2025, where he dropped the Ring of Honor World Championship.
Now, according to the F4wonline, the veteran star has completed his latest commitments with his band Fozzy and is currently on standby, awaiting new creative direction from AEW President Tony Khan.
Jericho’s time away was partially due to Fozzy’s tour schedule, which had him on the road in recent months. With that leg of the tour now finished, he is once again available to make his return to AEW television. However, his comeback is reportedly contingent on Tony Khan finalizing a storyline that would bring Jericho back into the fold in a meaningful way.
While Jericho is now free for immediate use, it’s worth noting that Fozzy has already announced their next UK tour, which will run from February 6 to 21, 2026. If Jericho finds himself in a major program during that time, the tour could interrupt his presence on AEW shows, potentially requiring scheduling adjustments or pre-taped appearances.
As one of AEW’s most prominent founding stars, Jericho’s next move will likely be significant. Whether he returns as a heel, face, or with a revamped persona remains to be seen. Given his history of reinvention, fans can expect something fresh once creative direction is locked in.
Until then, Jericho remains on the AEW sidelines—ready to return the moment the right story presents itself.
