Chris Jericho Unlikely for WWE Montreal Weekend – With WWE bringing SmackDown and Saturday Night’s Main Event to Montreal, Quebec, Canada this weekend, speculation has increased about a possible appearance by Chris Jericho. Given Jericho’s Canadian roots and ongoing free agency discussion following the expiration of his AEW contract at the end of 2025, many fans believed a surprise hometown appearance could be in play.
However, Jericho already has a confirmed commitment on the opposite side of the continent that makes a Montreal appearance highly unlikely.
Jericho is advertised to perform with his band on Friday, January 23, at the Anaheim Arena in Anaheim, California. The performance is part of JAMM Night, a free concert tied to the annual National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) Show. The NAMM convention is a multi-day event, and Jericho is expected to remain in the Los Angeles area throughout the weekend as part of those obligations.
This scheduling conflict directly overlaps with WWE’s live events in Montreal, ruling out any realistic possibility of Jericho appearing on SmackDown or Saturday Night’s Main Event unless there is an unexpected and significant last-minute change. Given the structure of the NAMM Show and Jericho’s advertised involvement, such a change appears unlikely.
The timing is notable due to the ongoing speculation surrounding Jericho’s wrestling future. Since his AEW contract expired at the end of 2025, industry discussion has continued about where he could surface next, with WWE frequently mentioned as a potential destination. WWE’s return to Montreal only added fuel to those rumors, especially considering Jericho’s history with the company and his status as one of Canada’s most prominent wrestling figures.
For this weekend, however, Jericho’s focus appears to be firmly on his music career rather than a return to WWE programming. While his long-term wrestling plans remain unclear, any potential WWE involvement will have to wait for another date, possibly at Royal Rumble on January 31.
