On his most recent appearance on his podcast, Jericho revealed the details about how his return this summer came about, as well as the company asking him specifically to work with Wyatt.

"Jericho said he got a call a month ago and one of WWE’s writers wanted to speak with him. Fozzy was planning to work a tour this summer but they didn’t get on it, so he had free time. WWE mentioned working with Bray Wyatt again and Jericho was into it. He said three weeks went by and he didn’t hear back from them. Jericho supplied WWE with dates he was free and finally got the call to return on Friday, just a few days before RAW.Jericho flew into Boston on Monday to keep it a secret. He drove to Hartford and arrived around 5:30pm to the arena. He waited until fans outside of the arena left before driving down to enter the building. Jericho sat in a production bus for over 4 hours, meeting with agent Dean Malenko to go over ideas for the angle. Malenko took some of Jericho’s ideas back to Vince McMahon for approval. Jericho said he then met with The Wyatt Family and The Miz to go over some things before going to the gorilla position.Jericho said the whole deal for his return was made in about 5 minutes with Triple H on Friday."

Well, we’re definitely glad the deal was able to get done, and with this Wyatt feud coming this summer, this could be one of the more memorable Jericho stints in history.
