Chris Jericho Shows Off Jaw-Dropping Physique Amid WWE Return Rumors
Chris Jericho is ageing like a fine wine.
Jericho hasn’t appeared on the AEW programming since April 2025, but is still under contract with the company. However, his contract expires in 2026, which could mean the WWE Universe sees him return to his old home. In the past few months, rumors and reports have surfaced that Jericho might return to the Stamford-based promotion, but nothing has been confirmed just yet.
Amidst the WWE return rumors, Jericho recently celebrated his 55th birthday on November 9. On the occasion of his special day, he shared a picture of himself, showing off his incredible physique in a gym mirror selfie on Instagram. The post is blowing up on social media, garnering attention from wrestling celebrities and fans alike. Despite being 55, Jericho looks completely jacked.

WWE Allegedly Teased Chris Jericho’s Return
At Crown Jewel, John Cena faced AJ Styles in a singles match. During the bout, he paid homage to many of his past rivals and opponents, and Chris Jericho was one of them. He used Jericho’s signature move, Walls of Jericho, during the match, after which announcer Michael Cole mentioned the AEW star on live TV.
Speaking on his Story Time With Dutch Mantell podcast, veteran Dutch Mantell pointed out that Cole name-dropping Chris Jericho live on WWE TV might be a subtle tease that the WWE veteran is surely set for a return.
“I would think just by [Michael Cole] saying the name Chris Jericho, he’s not long off from coming back into the company. Now, if Vince [McMahon] would still hold a grudge against him for leaving, which that has been known to happen, I don’t think Michael Cole would have said his name.
And I don’t think Michael Cole would have said his name unless he was given a free access to say his name or he may have even been told to mention his name. Doing that, because it’s a prelude to him coming in, which starts talk like we’re talking right now, and now the people since his name comes up now.”
