What's the direction for Chris Jericho?

Jericho's suspension is up in a matter of days and he's returning to Raw next Monday. Last time we saw him, he gave Orton three Codebreakers and appeared to be starting a feud with him. Orton himself was suspended and we won't be seeing him until late July at the earliest. So what do you think Jericho is going to do when he returns? Any change in his persona? Will he be face/heel?

I'm thinking he'll announce his intention to win the Raw MITB match, since they need to start hyping that PPV next month.

Thoughts?

Cena has nothing going on now, how about we see Cena beat him down and come up against all the odds to beat him.


I wouldn't put it past the WWE.

Jericho will return a heel. I don't see him making a face turn during the remainder of his career. He's not going to be a full time wrestler so he's best utilized as a top heel that gets the next top face over.

As for his immediate booking, I think he'll enter a MITB match. Smackdown is very low on star power, so he could enter the Smackdown MITB. He won't likely win that but he'll have a good showing. Depending on how Smackdown books the WHC title picture, I could see Jericho going after Sheamus. Sheamus vs. Jericho would be a good SummerSlam match, especially since I doubt they'll book Orton in that role after his suspension is over.

He'll probably be in one of the MITB matches and in meantime he'll wander around until it's time for another Fozzy tour come Summerslam.

My pick is Daniel Bryan.

I'm thinking Punk is going to feud with Kane now since Bryan was pinned in a decisive manner last night and they won't have another Triple Threat at MITB. And when we consider all the variables, it really does point to this direction. The Big Show will most likely be feuding with Sheamus for a couple ppvs, while Del Rio becomes a Smackdown MITB participant. I'm guessing both Jericho and Bryan enter the RAW MITB as well as someone like Ziggler (who will win it). It is there that Jericho and Bryan will begin there feud! I think Jericho will return as a face this time, with Bryan as the heel, because:

1) Jericho idolizes Bryan and has always wanted to work a feud with him
2) Who else is Jericho going to feud with as a heel? Santino, Kofi?
3) This feud would really elevate Bryan and keep him in the spotlight with something to do, and obviously WWE is high on the man, or else he wouldn't be in the heavyweight title picture of both shows for the past several months straight.

Thoughts?

I guess he could feud with Cena, but man we've seen that SOOOO many time already. I'm sick of that feud
That didn't stop them from doing Show/Cena again so I wouldn't be surprised if they booked another Jericho/Cena feud.

Maybe Jericho will kickoff the MITB Ladder Match setup by becoming one of the first participants and whoever he is feuding with will also be in the match.

Jericho has no reason to turn face...it just wouldn't work. Everyone would think he was trolling them again. Not to mention that every single champion is a face. Not enough top level heels. Jericho won't be turning anytime soon and Cena needs someone to face at SS.

I wouldn't be surprised if we got Cena/Jericho but I would happily sit down and watch a Jericho and Bryan program. Jericho is and always will be gold on the microphone, will carry the feud promo wise and can still hold his own inthe ring, obviously not in his prime but him and Bryan will definately put on great matches.

Hoping for a program with Ziggler or DB. But, sadly I think he'll probably feud with Super Cena. Am I the only one excited for another 'LOL CENA WINS' program?

Come to think of it, I think Captain Charisma could be an option. They have history, Smackdown needs a little more star power, and Christian has no one to feud with currently.

I'd like to see a Christian/Jericho feud. I think that it would be a great one, especially this time with Christian being a face and Jericho being a heel. But WWE probably wants Christian to be booked against the newer heels to get them over.

I hope he comes back as a babyface and fueds with Alberto Del Rio.
I hope the fueds go something like this:

Sheamus / Big Show
Jericho / Del Rio
Cena / Daniel Bryan

Re: What's the direction for Chris Jericho?

A mini-feud with Cena where he brings up the fact that every time he's faced Cena, he's lost, either clean or by disqualification, going way back to 2002 when Cena had just debuted. They have a grudge match at MITB and Jericho finally gets his long deserved victory over Cena, with a bit of a dirty finish just to protect Cena since they must do that all the time because he's not over enough.

I'd like to see him go after Christian. It would be awesome. I love the thought of Jerico getting the IC title once more, and maybe losing it back to Jerico before somebody new enters the feud for Christian to put over. But I think they;d put on a great aldder match at MITB.

I actually laughed out loud at my television during Monday Night RAW when the "Jericho returns next week!" popped up on the screen. The reason why it was so funny to me was because I had not even noticed that he was gone.

That is how worthless and lackluster his most recent "run" in WWE has been. I have always thought that Chris Jericho was overrated anyway. At least he used some old school style High-Angle Boston Crabs, the real Liontamer, a few times.

I think he needs to get away from the heel promo style he has been using for the last few years. The talking super slow style that has been ripped off by everyone, like The Miz. He needs to do more to freshen his character up than put on a jacket with lights.
