– The deal to bring Chris Jericho back to WWE was reportedly finalized a few days ago. Jericho may not face Bray Wyatt in a singles match at the Battleground pay-per-view but the two are booked for SummerSlam.
Last night’s RAW wasn’t the first encounter between Bray Wyatt and Chris Jericho as they wrestled each other in the main event of the May 2nd, 2013 WWE NXT episode, a match that Jericho won. The stipulation for the match was that if Jericho lost, he had to join The Wyatt Family. It’s possible that WWE picks back up on that for this new storyline.
Jericho said in one interview last year that Wyatt would be a main roster star in one year and a major star in two. Jericho has said in other interviews that he requested to work with Wyatt when he went to NXT. With Jericho reportedly having some creative input into his returns, it’s possible that he asked to work with Wyatt again.
– Jim Ross tweeted the following about Bray Wyatt after last night’s RAW and the attack on Chris Jericho:
“@WWEBrayWyatt was a heel tonight. #RAW If there are heels still in the rasslin game….that is.”
Mick Foley also tweeted about Wyatt and Jericho:
“I have a feeling that @WWEBrayWyatt is going to bring out a side of @IAmJericho that we’ve never seen before. #RAW”
– Chris Jericho tweeted the following after his WWE return on RAW last night:
“Surprise…! #WWERaw”
“Stuck in a NYC traffic jam at 1am…. #WelcomeBackY2J”
“Jericho Checklist for 2014: 1) back in @wwe 2) new @FOZZYROCK record on July22 3) @TalkIsJericho twice a week 4) new book Oct14 5) KICKASS!”
