WHY CHRIS JERICHO IS EXPECTED TO JUMP TO WWE ON THE NETFLIX ANNIVERSARY
Chris Jericho is rumoured to join WWE after his AEW deal ends Dec 31. Will he appear on the Jan 5 Netflix Raw anniversary?
Word is, WWE might snag Chris Jericho soon. Wrestling Intel's Alex McCarthy reported on Sunday, December 28, that Jericho is likely heading to WWE since his AEW contract ends on December 31.
McCarthy wrote, We hear Chris Jericho is going to sign with WWE when his AEW deal is up. Sources say his contract ends at midnight on December 31, and he's expected to sign right away.”
The report also mentioned Jericho might show up on the January 5 edition of Monday Night Raw, which is the first-year anniversary of the WWE thingy on Netflix. Some folks are wondering if he might also pop up at the Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia on January 31.
So, where does Jericho fit in WWE?
Jericho's return will be a big deal. Whether you love him or hate him, Jericho has been a major player for the last whatever years. He’s stayed current and keeps changing things up, for better or for worse. He’s a future Hall of Famer and should be inducted someday. Seriously, no one would complain if he were the main guy in the 2026 class, even if he’s still wrestling. He’s earned that spot.
Still, some might worry about WWE bringing back another older wrestler who could take up space in the men’s division. Fans are eager for younger wrestlers to get to the top. With guys like Carmelo Hayes, Bron Breakker, Je’Von Evans, and Oba Femi coming up, the number of guys over 40 is a valid point. The older guys should make room for the younger guys, but that’s not what's happening now.
Everyone wants to know where Jericho will land on the main roster. One idea that comes to mind is GUNTHER taking him out, since he’s becoming the new “Legend Killer,” retiring two big names in 2025. That could be a cool storyline that makes for big matches while keeping Jericho and GUNTHER away from the title scene.
The January 5 edition of Monday Night Raw is shaping up to be a big show. If Chris Jericho is there, then things will be extra hype. Either way, word is he’s heading back to WWE for what could be one of the last runs of his career.
THE SHIELD FACTOR: WHY SETH ROLLINS BELIEVES SPLITTING THE TEAM SAVED THREE LEGENDARY CAREERS
Is the Shield reuniting? Seth Rollins shuts down fans as Roman Reigns prepares to battle CM Punk at WrestleMania 2026.
Seth Rollins has always been a lightning rod in wrestling, and he still feels the fallout from breaking up The Shield. Back in June 2014, he took everyone by surprise; he just turned on Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose with a steel chair, siding with Triple H and The Authority. That moment didn’t just shake up The Shield. It changed wrestling for good.
He talked about it on Club Shay Shay with Shannon Sharpe not long ago, saying that one decision flipped the whole industry on its head. The three of them, Rollins, Reigns, and Ambrose, had found their groove as a team. But splitting up was the push they all needed. If they’d stayed together, no way would they have become the stars they are now. Still, after all these years, Rollins gets grilled by grown adults! asking him why he did it.
“I still get asked about that. Seriously, it’s been 12 years, and people come up to me and say, ‘Why’d you break up The Shield?’ These are adults! They watched it as teens, sure, but come on. You know it’s not real. Does it really hurt that much? Wow,” he said. He just can’t believe a scripted moment from so long ago still hits people so hard.
No one can argue with what The Shield did for wrestling. All three guys are either holding or chasing world titles in WWE and AEW. Right now, Rollins has his own battles. He’s heading toward WrestleMania 42, but he’s coming off emergency surgery for a hernia, and that’s thrown his plans into chaos. Wrestling Observer Radio even reported that his big match against a returning rival might be off the table.
Roman Reigns, on the other hand, is gearing up for a huge showdown with CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship. And with Elimination Chamber coming up in Chicago on February 28, 2026, everyone’s watching the top stars. On the February 16 episode of Raw, Je’Von Evans punched his ticket to the Men’s Elimination Chamber by beating GUNTHER and Dominik Mysterio. Now he’s in there with Randy Orton, LA Knight, and Cody Rhodes.
For the women, Asuka, Rhea Ripley, Tiffany Stratton, and Alexa Bliss have already made it in. WWE is feeling the heat about ticket sales for WrestleMania 42 at Allegiant Stadium, so they’re leaning hard on the stories and history of their biggest names to pump up excitement for the two-night event in April.
INSIDE LIV MORGAN’S CALCULATED PLAN TO CHOOSE HER WRESTLEMANIA 42 CHAMPIONSHIP OPPONENT
Liv Morgan claims a dream match with AJ Lee would "solve world hunger" as she weighs her WrestleMania 42 title shot options.
Liv Morgan has a wild sense of humour—she actually said that a match between her and AJ Lee would do more than just entertain fans. According to her, it’d solve world hunger. Seriously. In a recent chat with GQ Sports, Liv read a fan comment that said, “Her vs. AJ Lee would feed families,” and she took it even further: “We’d feed more than families. Like, world hunger would not be a thing.” When they asked how she pictured the match ending, Liv didn’t hesitate. “With me winning, obviously. But she’s a feisty one. Still, I’m putting my money on me.”
Fans have been dying to see Liv Morgan vs. AJ Lee ever since AJ returned to WWE last year. There’s a catch, though—rumour has it AJ Lee’s got a different WrestleMania 42 opponent lined up. And Liv? She’ll still be challenging for a Women’s Championship at the big event, but this dream match probably needs a little more time.
Liv’s still weighing her options for WrestleMania 42.
After she won the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble, Liv told everyone at the PLE post-show that she’s not in a rush to choose her opponent. “I can pick any champion I want, and I don’t want to make some quick decision I regret. I’m taking my time. I’ll decide when it feels right and when I know who’s right.” She doubled down on that on RAW this week, saying she’s even planning to scope out SmackDown to see if she wants to go after Jade Cargill for the WWE Women’s Championship.
But if you’re looking for clues, Liv might’ve already dropped one—she ambushed Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer right after Stephanie defended her title against Raquel Rodriguez on RAW. Looks like Liv’s keeping her cards close, but she’s not shy about making a statement.
