Chris Jericho is believed to have signed a new multi-year
deal with AEW according to multiple industry insiders.
Jericho was offered a deal by WWE, a deal which was turned
down in favor of staying put in AEW where he has been a part
of since the company’s inception.

Dynamite a year after his last appearance. During his time
away from AEW, Jericho went on multiple tours with his band
Fozzy and even did acting jobs.TV Guides & Reference
His contract was set to expire at the end of December 2025
but it was extended to compensate for the time off,
preventing him from going to WWE even if he wanted to at the
time.
There were a lot of rumors suggesting that Jericho was WWE-
bound at the end of 2025 and a deal with them was looking
more likely than a renewal at AEW, but this is the wrestling
business where things can do a 180 quick, especially if it
there is more money involved.
