5 WWE stars Chris Jericho can add to his potential faction if he returns

The wrestling world is in a frenzy as Chris Jericho is expected to return to WWE. Rumors have been swirling that his contract with AEW is set to expire this month. It opens the door for a potential comeback to WWE, where he is likely to have a final run. There are chances that the veteran could be taking a mentor role in the company instead of working as a full-time wrestler.

Jericho has achieved everything there is to achieve in sports entertainment. The Learning Tree boasts an illustrious career, and now it could be the time to take a backseat. Therefore, WWE could give him a managerial role in the company upon his return. Y2J could form a faction of his own in the Stamford-based promotion, similar to his work in AEW over the past few years.

Let's take a look at the five stars Chris Jericho can bring to his potential faction if he returns to WWE:

#5. Montez Ford & #4. Angelo Dawkins

Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins have been struggling on SmackDown for the past year. While the two enjoyed a WWE Tag Team Championship reign earlier, they have disappeared into the shadows after dropping those titles. Triple H has failed miserably to give The Street Profits anything significant despite them having everything that is required to be at the top.

Therefore, by aligning them with a veteran like Chris Jericho, WWE can easily give Ford and Dawkins a much-needed limelight. The AEW star can do the mic work for the duo during their feud to make them look fierce and serious. Additionally, Jericho is an exceptional heel. His addition with Profits could easily help them dominate as heels, something that Triple H failed to do last time.

#3. Ethan Page

Ethan Page has shone as one of the rising heels in sports entertainment. His character and attitude share many similarities with the initial persona of Chris Jericho in WWE. Therefore, he can be an incredible part of Y2J's potential faction in the Stamford-based promotion. Moreover, this could be an effective way to bring Page on the main roster without putting him in any random storyline.

Furthermore, All Ego could work as a henchman of the legend on the main roster. An alliance between the two stars could be menacing for several babyfaces on RAW and SmackDown. In the meantime, Chris Jericho's assistance can help Ethan Page to elevate himself into a main event player down the line. The NXT star could become the main player of Jericho's potential faction.

#2. Ricky Saints

Ricky Saints has a rich history with Chris Jericho in his career. The two stars were involved in a feud in All Elite Wrestling in late 2022. The 55-year-old offered Saints an open spot in his Jericho Appreciation Society, but the young star openly refused to accept it. WWE can recreate something like that upon Jericho's comeback. However, this time, it can end with Saints finally joining the veteran as a member of his faction.

This can be an impactful storyline that can immensely put over Ricky Saints on the main roster. Besides, Saints has showcased his heel work in AEW before. He can be a cunning and sly addition to Chris Jericho's faction. Additionally, Y2J could work as a fancy mentor for a determined protege like Ricky. This dynamic could bring something fresh and new for the fans in a faction story.

#1. Trick Williams can join Chris Jericho

Trick Williams has been the mainstay of WWE's developmental territory for the past two years. His work in NXT and TNA has impressed a lot of people, and now he is ready to be moved to the main roster. If he gets involved in a faction with Chris Jericho, WWE can easily fuel his heel persona. Many have criticised that Williams lacks the seriousness as a heel in his promo.

Jericho can easily fill that gap to prepare the former NXT Champion into a full-blown main event player. This partnership could be an interesting factor following Y2J's potential comeback. Trick Williams could work as the muscle of the group. WWE can book the former TNA World Champion as a dominant figure who possesses the potential to change the game under Chris Jericho's command.
