The Undisputed WWE Champion reacts to Chris Jericho’s possible return

The new Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre, spoke about Y2J’s possible return to the company with TMZ. This was before The Scottish Warrior dethroned Cody Rhodes on SmackDown. McIntyre revealed that he had spent quite a bit of his youth with Jericho. Furthermore, he claimed that Jericho will make a splash wherever he goes, so if it’s WWE, that would be great!

Chris Jericho is one of my friends. I spent a lot of my youth with him. He’s a massive, massive star, and at this point in his life and career, whatever makes him happy makes me happy. He’s gonna make a huge splash wherever he goes. If it’s for us, why not? [H/t: TMZ]
