CHRIS JERICHO appears to have leaked Cody Rhodes’ WWE return.

The wrestling world was shocked several weeks ago when it was announced that the American Dream had left All Elite Wrestling.

As a founder member and the EVP of the rival company, fans were left stunned by his departure.

He was believed to be looking for a new deal that would have made him one of AEW’s top earners alongside Bryan Danielson and CM Punk.

However, owner Tony Khan refused to meet his demands and the pair agreed to part ways amicably.

And even more eyebrows were raised when speculation began to mount that the 36-year-old was in discussions with WWE over a return to work for Vince McMahon.

Rhodes has never shied away from the fact it was his frustration over character development that led to his exit from WWE in 2016.

But now rumours are mounting that he will face Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 38.

Now AEW’s Jericho, who achieved legendary status in WWE, looks to have confirmed that his friend Rhodes is heading back there.

He was talking to Attorney Michael Dockins on his latest episode of Talk is Jericho regarding trademarking and said: “I’m pulling back the curtain a little bit on the wrestling business.
