- WWE officials had been negotiating with Chris Jericho on a new contract in recent weeks, but talks fell through. WWE opted to cease talks with the wrestler/musician in recent days.
It is believed that the proposed deal fell through due to control over when he worked as well as his activities outside of WWE. Officials were seeking an arrangement where the company would be his top priority and they would have some control over his outside endeavors. Jericho, on the other hand, wanted complete control of all of his activities.
Jericho was open to returning as early as this month had WWE agreed to his terms. He was looking to work forty to fifty dates per year, including full-time for cycles and even assisting the developmental program. However, he would determine the periods when he worked and would be strictly unavailable during tours, which WWE was not in favor of.

Well after reading this I decided to try to find out some answers for myself. So I actually tweeted the man himself ( I rarely use twitter but have gotten responses from several wwe guys here's the tweet:
Chris Jericho @iamjericho 27m Wow that’s news to me. @matthv1: @iamjericho @fozzyrock what are these new reports of you never going back to WWE now?”

Lol well he's still playing dumb, but who cares I'm just excited I got retweeted this time by one of the all time greats Y2J!!!
I might have to start using twitter regularly now, I usually make a new account whenever I get a new phone so when I'm bored I can look at all the WWE and other famous athletes and celebs. But this is like the 4th time I've been reponded out of like 7 attempts. JR, Steve Blackman, Lance Storm twice and now Jericho.
