The reason Chris Jericho is still listed as a member of AEW on the company’s roster page is simple: he is still an employee. There has been huge speculation about Jericho’s future over the past several months, with the widespread belief being that his AEW deal would expire at the end of 2025. It was even announced when Jericho re-signed with AEW in October of 2022 that his deal would expire at the end of 2025.
Contract Confusion And Clarification
Jericho remains on the AEW roster page, however, situated between Cash Wheeler and Christian Cage. According to Fightful Select, Jericho is actually still under contract with AEW. Why exactly his deal didn’t expire at the end of 2025 is currently unknown. This news explains why Jericho has not appeared on WWE programming, as he is still under contract with AEW, should the two sides want to work together.
WWE Interest And Future Plans
Fightful noted that there is interest in Jericho from within WWE, should he become a free agent. Jericho has been signed to AEW since 2019 and was the inaugural AEW World Champion. Prior to his AEW run, Jericho was part of WWE across multiple runs from 1999 to 2018.
Upcoming Schedule
Chris Jericho is set to be busy in the near future, as his band Fozzy is due to begin their tour of the United Kingdom on February 6 in Brighton. The rock band is due to play 13 shows before finishing up on February 21 in Wolverhampton.
