Chris Jericho WWE WrestleMania 42 Opponent

WWE

While fans continue to watch and wait for the potential that Chris Jericho could return to WWE, there could be a new big feud on the horizon.

With many WWE fans still hopeful that perhaps Chris Jericho will make his in-ring return to the company in 2026, perhaps the legendary star is waiting for WrestleMania 42.

Here are five potential WWE WrestleMania 42 opponents that could emerge for Chris Jericho.

5. Randy Orton

A potential rival for a returning Chris Jericho might end up being another storied legend in Randy Orton.

With Orton lacking a path forward to WrestleMania 42 at the moment, it could be that tangling with old rival Chris Jericho is the perfect solution for both.

While the showdown could definitely have a clear heel and face, it might be even more enjoyable for fans if the exact motivations of each man remain murky until the event.

With the ability for either future WWE Hall of Famer to turn heel in order to create a dramatic moment, it could be both that end up turning to the dark side and possibly uniting in the end.
