According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, pro wrestling legend Chris Jericho and his band Fozzy's newly announced tour schedule for 2025-2026 has garnered significant attention within the pro wrestling community. Notably, there are no shows booked during WWE's Royal Rumble weekend, leading to speculation that Jericho may make his return to the company for the event.
WWE Royal Rumble is scheduled for Saturday, January 31, 2026, in Saudi Arabia, and Fozzy has not listed any performances on that date. This absence in their schedule has led fans to believe that Jericho could be available that weekend. Fozzy's confirmed tour plans begin with a run in the United Kingdom from February 6 to February 21, followed by a limited number of dates in the United States later in May. Importantly, January remains free of scheduled shows. The report also notes that Fozzy is not booked for two significant AEW pay-per-view dates on December 27 and March 15, further adding to the speculation about Jericho's availability.
However, it is important to note that having an open calendar does not guarantee that Jericho will appear at these events, as there has been no official announcement from WWE, AEW, or Jericho regarding any planned involvement. Jericho has historically structured Fozzy tours around important wrestling commitments, and past schedules have shown similar gaps around high-profile events. Nevertheless, there is currently no indication of negotiations or creative plans, and the tour's layout only confirms that Jericho will not be on stage that weekend.
