I don't need a dirt sheet, it came straight from the most credible source there is, Jericho himself.

It's basically a video asking people to vote for him on Dancing With The Stars, so if you don't want to watch the whole thing, go to around the 1 minute mark or so and he gets to his WWE return in a few seconds. He says he'll be back when the show is done. I don't know if he means immediately after it's done or a month or two or whatever, but there it is. We can expect him back this year, and frankly, this is double good because, as if we didn't need the best in the world enough before, he's really needed now to provide more star power. WWE won't trust Christian in the main event for long so maybe Jericho can return as the big face on SmackDown and have a title feud, hopefully with Barrett after ADR loses the title.

Thought it's always been pretty common knowledge that his return was more a case of 'when' and not 'if' but still, the sooner he gets back the better.

Oh, certainly. We all knew he was going to come back at SOME point, but nobody knew what kind of thing we were dealing with. He could've come back in 2012 for all we knew.

I didn't assume he'd be back wrestling at all. He is 40 years old, he's made his money, he has a ton of other interests. I'm sure he'd at the very least come back to make some appearances and maybe play a non-wrestling role.

Read about this earlier and good to hear. Have a feeling though he is coming back as a face even though he has a easy feud upon return with the guy who took him out with Orton. Could be interesting if there was some sort of Punk/Jericho alliance.

One of the things that disappointed me the most at WrestleMania (which was the entire show except for Miz retaining the WWE title, Taker vs HHH, Cole beating Lawler and Austin stunning Swagger) was that Jericho didn't return to cost Orton the match and align with Punk. That would've been the perfect twist because the storyline was centered around Orton punting everyone and Jericho got punted months ago.

Then again, maybe it was a good thing it didn't happen because I have a suspicion, and it's only a theory, but I'm thinking it's possible that Jericho and Punk being partners would result in so much charisma to be in the same place at the same time that it would bound itself together into forming a mammoth black hole that would suck up the entire planet.

Feud with Punk plz. The promos would be some of the most epic stuff to ever grace the WWE. The matches would be pretty splendid too I imagine. :eek:

lol yeah would be pretty epic and one of the best mic skill tandems in a while. Only thing I wonder is if they were to pair the two what would they do with Nexus since they had an out for them to be away from Punk but brought them back with Punk.

:lmao @ the comment on the video. "So if nobody votes for him, will he be back sooner?" I sure hope so.
