As we all know by now, Chris Jericho will be taking on Kenny Omega for the IWGP United States Champion at NJPW’s Wrestle Kingdom 12 PPV event on Jan. 4, 2018. Previous reports indicate that Chris Jericho may be back on the 25th Anniversary Show of Raw in January. But according to recent reports, Chris Jericho will be touring with his band Fozzy from January 28 to February 13, which means that he will be busy preparing for that and he may not have the time to be part of Raw’s 25th Anniversary Show.
The report also states that he will definitely not be part of the Royal Rumble this year since he is touring with his band Fozzy from January 28 to February 13 and the PPV is taking place on the 28th. As for when he will return, it all depends on his touring schedule, since February 13 is the last publicized date.
