Chris Jericho’s potential WWE return just picked up more heat—and this time, it’s thanks to a very telling photo.

WWE ring announcer Mike Rome posted a picture of himself alongside the AEW legend during a night out at Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights, and fans aren’t treating it as just a casual hang.

The image was part of a carousel Rome shared on Instagram, showcasing his time at the Halloween event. But one frame in particular stood out: Jericho, posing with Rome, grinning ear-to-ear. The post didn’t name-drop Jericho directly, but Rome’s caption was enough to stir the pot.

“Had a blast at @horrornights at @unistudios seeing the #wyatt6 house and seeing some old friends,” he wrote.

With Jericho absent from AEW programming since April and his current AEW contract reportedly expiring at the end of 2025, speculation about his return to WWE continues to escalate. WWE insiders have reportedly expressed confidence that Jericho could rejoin the company when his deal is up.

Adding to the intrigue, Jericho recently addressed the ongoing WWE rumors while at Universal Studios. Although he didn’t confirm anything, he didn’t shut the door either—leaving the wrestling world to connect the dots.

This social post might just be two old friends catching up, but the timing couldn’t be more interesting. With Jericho’s long absence from AEW TV and his ties to WWE still strong, a reunion doesn’t feel impossible. And now, fans have a fresh visual to keep the rumor mill spinning.
