Chris Jericho WWE Return Opponent

Chris Jericho WWE Return Opponent WWE/AEW

Few would argue with Chris Jericho’s legendary status in WWE: an icon of the Attitude Era and a six-time company world champion, his spot in their Hall of Fame is all but guaranteed.

Since leaving WWE in 2019, his career has experienced a second life — but a return to the company still feels inevitable at some point.

If that return happens while he’s still active in the ring, the question becomes: who does he face?

Below are some intriguing options for Jericho’s WWE return opponent.

6. GUNTHER

WWE World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER

If Chris Jericho returned to WWE, we could see a first-time match between him and GUNTHER.

This is a bout that has “dream match” written all over it.

While Jericho is no longer the athlete he once was, this could be a brutal battle — akin to the two acclaimed matches he had with New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Tomohiro Ishii on Dynamite – a war of attrition built around heavy strikes.

Could we one day see this dream match in a WWE ring?
