Moreover, as Jericho’s AEW contract reportedly expired on December 31, here are the top five feuds WWE could book if he returns to the Stamford-based promotion.

5. Kofi Kingston

Kofi Kingston had multiple in-ring matches with Chris Jericho during his early start in WWE in the late 2000s. This makes him one of his significant opponents left on the current roster.

So, it could be exciting for WWE to take a trip down memory lane and have Kingston and Jericho feud once again, if the former AEW star returns to the company.
