How Chris Jericho’s AEW Return Came Together Despite WWE Rumors

TLDR

Chris Jericho returned to AEW on the April 1 episode of Dynamite, interrupting a contract signing between MJF and Kenny Omega after his status with the company had been uncertain for weeks. According to Sean Ross Sapp, Jericho's contract situation was complicated due to time off and outside commitments, with sources indicating he may not have wanted to give up his outside projects which WWE would likely have required him to do. Despite a brief period where some believed Jericho might be WWE-bound, no concrete discussions materialized on WWE's side, and Jericho ultimately returned to AEW after traveling to Winnipeg quietly over the weekend.
