WWE Rumors: Chris Jericho to Return by Summerslam?
With the recent injuries to Undertaker and Ken Kennedy, the tremendous amount of uncertainty regarding the future of Randy Orton, and the upcoming departure of Rob Van Dam, the WWE is in need of some big name superstars.
As a result, Dave Meltzer is reporting that due to recent circumstances, the companyâs interest in Chris Jericho has escalated.
WWE was have said to have wanted the former Undisputed Champion back by the fall, perhaps for the three-hour October âseason premiereâ of RAW, but an internal decision has now been made to make a major play for Jericho to be available for SumemrSlam. Of course, this does not mean that Jericho is a lock to return to WWE as TNA Wrestling is also hot on the trail.
TNA would seem like the better option for Jericho considering that TNA is in Orlando, which is near his home and he could continue to spend time at home with his young children. However, given the way TNA has handled Kurt Angle, it has certainly appeared less attractive lately. Nonetheless, no formal offer has been made by either said and negotiations are casual at this time.
