Chris Jericho remains cryptic about his future

There has yet to be any confirmation regarding what Jericho's next career move would be. As of now, he is expected to either stay with AEW or make his long-awaited return to WWE.

Earlier this month, during an episode of Busted Open Radio, he was asked about this. He did not disclose anything and mentioned that everyone has to wait and see how everything goes.

"We don’t know, right? We’ll just have to see," he said.

The former AEW World Champion remains a major star in the industry, and his next career move will surely be a great topic of conversation when it does happen. Where do you think he goes next?
