Update on Chris Jericho’s status with WWE

For those of you that have asked about Chris Jericho’s status and the rumors about Vince McMahon being blindsided, here is an update to shoot some of the rumors down.

McMahon wished Jericho a happy birthday on Thursday. Also, Tokyo sports got a quote from a WWE that says “Although Jericho is not full-time, he still has a deal with WWE, so of course Vince (President McMahon) is also giving permission for this entry.” (note: that was a translation from the Tokyo Sports website).
