On Monday's RAW, Chris Jericho announced that he will be leaving WWE once and for all if he does not win the WWE Championship in the 6-pack challenge match at Night of Champions. With Jericho's WWE contract expiring soon and talk that he's strongly considering leaving the company to pursue his career in the entertainment industry, it appears WWE has begun setting the stage for his possible departure.
As of this past weekend, a WWE source stated that Jericho still has not signed a new contract. It's still entirely possible that Jericho re-signs, but since Jericho has acknowledged in several recent interviews that his contract is expiring and he's considering moving on, WWE has incorporated the real situation into WWE storylines.
Jericho has said he wants more time off to to spend with his family, record music and tour with his heavy metal band Fozzy and pursue other opportunities in the entertainment industry.
Jericho has been in this position before five years ago where he left WWE to focus more on Fozzy and his family. He returned and had some fantastic matches and feuds, most notably with Shawn Michaels. He won the WWE title numerous times and had a hugely successful return to the mainevent scene. He has certainly done it all now and retiring now may be the right choice if he isn't in it anymore. He has a second book coming out soon, he has Fozzy and other jobs in entertainment so he won't be out of income anytime soon. Plus he has a young family so it sounds like it is time for him. He can still go in the ring with the best of them but it is best to leave on top rather than fading away.
Personally I think that he will be gone from WWE by the end of the year. He will retire to spend more time with his family.
What do you think he will do?
