Chris Jericho may not have appeared at WWE Elimination Chamber, but he didn’t escape attention — especially from within AEW.

After weeks of speculation tying Jericho to WWE’s mystery teaser and a possible return, AEW’s Ricochet took to Twitter following the premium live event and issued a direct public challenge. Rather than referencing WWE, Ricochet made it clear he’s focused on Jericho inside AEW.

“Hey @IAmJericho when you're done with your karaoke tour, I got a #NationalTitle match waiting on you. 👑”

The timing of the callout is notable. Jericho’s name had been heavily linked to WWE’s “Do Not Open Until 2-28” mystery teaser, but reports from confirmed he remains under AEW contract, with his deal extended due to previously missed time. That effectively shut down rumors of a WWE return tied to Elimination Chamber.

Do you want to see Chris Jericho face Ricochet for the National Title, or should AEW move Jericho into a different major storyline?
