Tony Khan has once again been asked about Chris Jericho and when/if fans can expect to see the former World Champion back on TV.
Jericho has been notably absent from TV since April 2025, the longest he has been away from the ring since the promotion stated back in 2019. With the absence going on for 6 months and there bieng no hints that Jericho will be back anytime soon, there has been heavy speculation that the inaugural World Champion may be finishing up with the company, potentially to set up a WWE return.
Additionally, Jericho’s latest cruise has no AEW talent announced, which has been the case with previous iterations of the trip.

Appearing on Busted Open Radio, Khan heaped praise on Jericho’s contributions to AEW over the years, but was unable to give any indication on his future within the promotion:
“I love Chris Jericho,” Khan stated. “He’s a huge part of AEW. He’s been here since the beginning. I think we’ll see what happens here in the coming months,but Chris is always a welcome big part of AEW we’d always want to have here”.
Jericho’s last match took place at AEW Dynasty, which saw him lose the ROH World Championship to Bandido.
