During the latest edition of Talk is
Jericho, Chris Jericho shared the details that led to his
return to the WWE on Monday Night. Here is a bullet point version…
*
Jericho keeps in regular communication with the WWE.
* He had been in
communication about a possible spot at WM 30 late last year. He had wanted to
work with Daniel Bryan or Bray Wyatt.
* Obviously WM 30 did not work out,
but he got a call roughly a month ago from one of the WWE writers, pitching a
potential program with Bray Wyatt.
* Three weeks had past and he did not
hear back from the company. He then heard from the company on June
27th.
* Triple H brokered the deal for the return, which Jericho said
took about five minutes.
* Jericho then flew into Boston on Monday
morning, avoiding flying into Hartford where Raw was taking place. He drove to
Hartford, arrived at the area about 5:30 and had to avoid fans seeing him
arrive.
* WWE’s Head of Talent Relations Mark Carrano met with Jericho
and escorted him to a crew bus, where he stayed for about four hours.
*
He spoke with agent Dean Malenko and gave input on how he would be used, and
Vince McMahon signed off on it.
* Jericho had a meeting with the Wyatts,
The Miz and Michael Hayes before heading to the gorilla position, where he met
with Vince, Triple H and Stephanie prior to making his entrance.
*
Jericho then added that he will be working an “almost” full time schedule,
including live events and the Japan tour.
