Get ready for a thrilling wrestling update! The future of Chris Jericho's career is a hot topic, and his upcoming tour schedule might just reveal his next move.
Cain A. Knight, a wrestling expert and fan since the '80s, has been crunching numbers and analyzing the pro wrestling scene for Cageside Seats. According to Knight, Jericho's absence from AEW programming since April has sparked rumors of a potential WWE comeback.
Here's where it gets interesting: January 31, 2026, the date of the Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia, is a potential return date for Jericho to WWE. But how does this align with his Fozzy tour schedule in the UK, which starts on February 6?
While it's not the ideal timing for Jericho to return to WWE just before his UK tour, it's worth noting that none of the WWE shows during this period are on Mondays, which is the usual night for WWE's flagship shows. Interestingly, WWE will only be running shows in the USA during Fozzy's tour, which could be a strategic move.
And this is the part most people miss: Fozzy is booked on the Wednesdays within this tour date range, which is the regular night for AEW's Dynamite. Additionally, AEW has shows scheduled in Australia during Jericho's UK tour, which could be a significant factor in his decision.
After examining Jericho's Fozzy tour schedule for early 2026, do you think he's more inclined to make a surprise WWE comeback at the Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia? Or will he stay loyal to AEW? Share your thoughts and predictions in the comments, Cagesiders! Let's discuss the possibilities and the potential impact of Jericho's next move on the wrestling world.
