“I think the best part was there was so much speculation of, ‘What is he gonna do?’ That either way with the tribalism of wrestling nowadays, there would be people happy about it and not happy about. ‘This is the worst thing ever,’ and, ‘This is the best thing ever.’ The rumors became facts to the fans.

Former WWE star claims Triple H only had one idea for Chris Jericho

Wrestling veteran Jonathan Coachman shared that WWE’s Chief Content Officer, Triple H, only had one plan for Chris Jericho’s return to the company.

Speaking on The Coach and Bro Show, Coachman stated that he heard Triple H wanted Jericho to have a rivalry with CM Punk and had no other plans for the former champion.

“I talked to my connect and when Jericho was trying to decide, and Tony admitted to us that he was a free agent, apparently Triple H the only thing he had for him was a program with CM Punk. That was it. And Jericho was like, ‘Nothing else? Nothing else?’ And you see what happened,” he said. [H/T – TJR Wrestling]
