Chris Jericho Gives a WTF Return to WWE to Open the Y2J New Year

By : January 3, 2012
 

Happy 2012! The New Year has begun and with it, a New Era of shenanigans on WWE.

The Raw Supershow opened up 2012 for wrestling fans in Memphis, TN with everyone wondering what the big reveal would be following weeks of “It Begins” promos for Jan 2. 2012.

Now, we know what begins. The return of Chris Jericho.

Y2J entered the ring with a Kool-Aid smile, while wearing bedazzled attire. He gave his fans high fives as he soaked in the energy of the WWE arena and walked to the ring. Then, he did the unthinkable.

He went into the ring, grabbed the mic, started a cheering wave, said absolutely nothing and left.

What —- The —– F!

We’ve seen Jericho perform promotional stunts for nearly a decade, starting with his countdown to the year 2000 and continuing with several coded messages that spread throughout the WWE. However, whenever he finally showed up, he would speak.

Now, we’re left to wonder what exactly does Jericho have planned now that he’s back. The six-time world champion may be a fan favorite, but his stunt earned him a hefty round of boos from the audience as he exited the arena.

Seriously, Chris. You got to give us something! We know that the promos stated that you are coming back to claim what is rightfully yours. And, that there is an elusive “she” that holds “the mystery” of your “rebirth”. But at least say something, before leaving the ring.

One thing is for sure, this won’t be the last of these escapades from Jericho before he finally does enter the ring to wrestle.

As a side note, once again John Cena delivered a humorous monologue when he entered the ring. He spoke about Wrestle Mania as well as Kane.

“I resolve to prove to Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson that I have lost my lady parts.” – Cena joked.

He also expressed his “disappointment” in Kane by calling out the Red Monster. Kane responded over the PA system, telling Cena to “embrace the hate”.

What were your thoughts on the return of Y2J? Do you feel cheated or did his leaving without a word make you more hyped for his return? Let us know in the comments below.

    God people are so dumb!   It’s been over the internet for weeks that Y2J was coming back, on the day the promo vids said so, and yet many seem to be hyped up about it!

    The WWE tried to make out like everyone didn’t know Y2J was coming back.   Cole was heard to say “this is unexpected” on Raw.

    Yah right.  Like you’re fooling us, cos we don’t have access to the internet…

    Biggest waste of a “return” ever.

    But then WWE is being held together by dead wood no persona noobs, guys trying to resurrect their careers, and no-talent people like Vicki Guerrero and John Larengitis!

    Can’t wait to see how they further ruin Takers role with his imminent comeback ready for Wrestlemania – more Johnny Cash anyone!!!

    Chris Jericho is one awesome wrestler! Yeah, many hate him for his arrogance, but a good heel brings out the best out of a wrestling storyline. Keep the villains coming!

    He was high or plastered or something. Waste of valuable airtime.

  • ax.el.th

    I think he fooled the crowd.he showed how much easy people can be fooled by the likes of cm punk or others.
    he is going to do something interesting soon and as punk was showed in the videos it has to do something with punk.so a feud in inevitable.I hope he makes his fans proud 1 more time.

    To all saying what a dissapointment it was etc etc… Your out of your mind.
    This was excellent booking … Get the crowd excited, Get the crowd thinking ur gonna speak, DONT, Then leave, leaving the fans pissed off making him an instant heel with all the boo’s.
    Whats their to be dissapointed about. Y2J vs Cm Punk at wrestlmania.. its got the potential to be one of the best matches in history

    He’s obviously going to turn heel, WWE aren’t going to make him a Face then set him up against one of the biggest faces in WWE atm, CM Punk. He will show the heel in the next 2 weeks, win the rumble, then face CM Punk @ Wrestlemania. The promo’s between the two should be the best in sometime, probably the 2 best mic guys in WWE.

    All hyped up for this just to be let down I like y2j but when the videos said a force to be unleashed I didn’t know the force unleashed was that Jericho had bought something lady gaga would wear to go put the rubbish out in the morning and the end of the world as we know it yeah the end of talking in a wwe ring as we know it

  • Sexyman2130

  • Sunny

    I was really disappointent with his return, Jericho looked like he was drunk and it was absolutly ridiclious to come out to the ring and say nothing. Since I’m from germany i had to be up until 5:00 a.m. to see Raw live and now if wasted my time for absolutly nothing….

    The man turned a audience into putty for 10 mintues, and everyone hates? Man, they guy is setting up for some sort of swerve, don’t be the stupid people. Not sure if it will be a heel turn or not, but he is setting up something, so just sit back, and wait. In the videos he said claim what is his, and obv setup to what he has been tweeting about Punk and MIz, and the end of the world stuff was a swerve to keep people off his trail.

    I think everyone is over thinking it, and we should just sit back and enjoy instead of hating or saying he is going to be a heel. Why can’t we all just enjoy the product? Whats the point of watching if you don’t?

  • Felixdahousekat

    Who cares, I’m bored of Jericho come backs. Back in WCW Jericho was one of those wrestlers who appeared to have talented mic skills and charisma that why vince signed him and his first 6 months in WWE showed some promise. Unfortunately after thay we found out he was not nearly as talented as he seemed. He was just marketed very well in his debut. Tonights display is just another example of how even with a solid push, and good marketing handed to him Jericho will drop the ball. He over-rated and focus should be directed else where.

  • Dgstegner

    Come on people! Are you that blind? Jericho was always a heel and he was clearly mocking CM Punk and the WWE universe for believing in CM Punk. Jericho is coming back for one thing and that is to reclaim the title “best in the world”. Look for Jericho to win the Royal Rumble and face CM Punk at wrestlemania for the WWE Championship.

    You must be joking. It’s called bringing heat. It was brilliant. He knew what he was doing.
