WWE News: WWE reportedly makes Jericho huge offer, Latest on possible return Submitted by Brian Cantor on Wednesday, September 5, 2007 at 1:05 AM EST
PWTorch.com reports that Chris Jericho received a large, presumably seven-figure monetary offer to return to World Wrestling Entertainment.
WWE has expressed interest in bringing Jericho back for a while; the two parties have communicated regularly over the past several months.
Jericho, who walked away from professional wrestling in 2005, is now reportedly fully willing to return to wrestling. A source close to the wrestler says that Jericho recognizes that his Hollywood aspirations are not going to provide a short-term monetary reward anywhere near that of WWE's offer.
At this point, Jericho's return merely hinges on the two parties reaching a workable arrangement. Once the two sides agree on terms, and it is unknown how long that will take to happen (it could be as short as a few weeks to as long as many months), Jericho is expected to rejoin the WWE roster.
