The latest on Chris Jericho’s WWE future is that he is expected to sign a new contract in early 2011 and be back in time for the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania 27 pay-per-views.
Jericho was briefly brought up at a creative meeting this past weekend with the idea that his storyline return would be him returning from Randy Orton’s punt kick. This doesn’t confirm that Jericho will feud with Orton upon coming back but it will obviously be an option.
