What Royal Rumble Return must happen in 2026?

0:05.0

Is it gonna have to be me then?

0:07.0

Okay?

0:08.0

It's Chris Jericho, obviously.

0:10.0

No one else is gonna say it, I'll say it.

0:12.0

Chris Jericho, ooh, the cryptic teasers, where could he be heading?

0:16.0

AWW, it's WWE, he's going back to WWE in 2026, and I think obviously the Rumble is a big occasion. Granted, it's a Saudi Rumble. It's a Rumble nonetheless, though. It would be an amazing moment to have him written. I'm fascinated to see how he gets booked, not just at his age now in W.E. and with his ability of like reinvention, possibly on the way in considering what we saw in the latter stages of his AW career,

0:40.5

but also, now in WWE and with his ability of like reinvention possibly on the way in considering what we saw

0:38.4

in the latter stages of his AW career but also with triple H in charge like where does Chris Jericho fit in

1:07.2

Yeah?

1:08.0

And the amount of times he's coloured his hair on MS paint, one as well, that we know of. So number four is the entry number four. I was going to suggest other things he's been accused of, but let's not get into that, right? So, and his wife, but... Chris Jericho, crack the coat, number four, I'm not suggesting that's nailed on, but I'd have him in the Royal Rumble because of course, I want to see Chris Jericho one more run around in WW.

1:46.0

No I did you have done to him. I've walked him in the interim months that he's been off AW television.

1:52.0

I hate you. Come on back Chris.

1:54.0

Page, Sim, easy, page. Look, I think I'm probably a bit of a Saria Page defender on the channel.
