A fresh update has emerged on a popular AEW star’s much-awaited return.
An AEW Original is seemingly waiting on Tony Khan to make his comeback. Former World Champion, Chris Jericho has been missing from in-ring action since the Dynasty PPV, where he lost his ROH World Title to Bandido.
With nearly two months of his absence, a recent update has emerged on Jericho’s possible comeback. As per the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Jericho’s current Fozzy tour was over, and he was awaiting creative directions from the promotion’s President ahead of his television return. Although the former World Champion is available already, there has been no official statement from either side about his television comeback.
While Jericho’s band Fozzy’s tour is over, it has already announced its upcoming dates. The band is set to tour next year from February 6 to February 21, as fans might again feel ‘The Learning Tree’s’ on-screen absence.
Tony Khan Addresses Recent AEW-WBD Rumors
Last year, All Elite Wrestling and Warner Bros Discovery signed a hefty multi-year media rights deal in October. Recently, a major decision regarding the media giant made headlines, and it is now expected to split into two leading media companies by mid-2026. This led to some speculations over WBD and the wrestling promotion’s future.
That’s a great question. I know that AEW, for both sides of where Warner Bros. is going, we have great relationships with everybody at the top, both on Global Networks and Streaming & Studios. Mr. Zaslav himself put our deal together. Gunnar, who will be running Global Networks, also was very involved in our deal as the CFO. The two of them, and [Chief Revenue & Strategy Officer] Bruce Campbell, really negotiated this deal with AEW, and myself, and my team.”
