The speculation surrounding a potential return to WWE for Chris Jericho has been fueled once again, this time by a social media post from a current WWE personality. WWE ring announcer Mike Rome recently shared a photo of himself with the AEW star at Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights, a friendly reunion that has the wrestling world buzzing.
In a post on his Instagram account, Rome shared a collection of photos from his trip to the popular Halloween event. Included in the slideshow was a picture of him with the former AEW World Champion. “Had a blast at @horrornights at @unistudios seeing the #wyatt6 house and seeing some old friends 🔥,” Rome wrote in the caption. The photo of the two “old friends” immediately caught the attention of fans who have been following the rumors of Jericho’s potential WWE comeback.
The photo comes at a time when talk of a Jericho return to WWE is at an all-time high. It has been reported that his current contract with All Elite Wrestling is set to expire at the end of 2025, and that there is a belief within WWE that he will be returning to the company. Jericho himself has been open about the possibility, stating in recent interviews that he would not be opposed to a return.
Jericho has been absent from AEW television since April, and his long hiatus has only added to the speculation. He was recently at Universal Studios, where he commented on the rumors of his potential return to WWE, though he did not provide any definitive answers. This new photo with a current WWE employee will only add more fuel to the fire.
While the photo is likely just a case of two friends catching up, the timing of the post, combined with the ongoing contract situation, has made it a point of discussion in the wrestling community.
