- Fightful reporting says Jericho spoke with WWE in recent months but no creative plan was set, while AEW sources described ongoing talks about a return.
- Public records show he filed a "Cornerstone" trademark on March 25 for merchandise and live performances, pointing to a planned refresh of his on-screen persona.
