A lot of things have happened in the WWE in the last few days. You have a Royal Rumble winner, a new WWE Champion, and some returns. I will talk about the return of Chris Jericho today. He returned at the Royal Rumble and looks like he will stick around. I'll get to the other things eventually.
The good about Jericho returning? The WWE gets some major star power heading into Wrestlemania. You always want big stars around for Wrestlemania. And you also get someone to make midcard matters more interesting. Jericho has a ton of main-event credibility, but with the main-event scene already clogged with Punk/Rock, Cena, Smackdown's title matters, Brock Lesnar, and so on, Jericho will be seeing more of the midcard than anything else for a while. Not a bad thing.
What don't I like about Jericho's return? He is obviously back in his feud with Dolph Ziggler. I was hoping that Jericho would return down the line where Ziggler had already won the title. Jericho returning to rain on Ziggler's parade would have been a better story than Jericho coming back to feud with Ziggler while he still has the briefcase. Aside from two new sidekicks from a few months ago, not much has changed for Ziggler. At one point, I would say that the WWE is developing Ziggler's credibility well. Okay, he has the credibility. They are just dragging it on now. I couldn't have been the only one expecting him to cash in when Big Show attacked Del Rio on Raw. That could then lead to an eventual title feud at Wrestlemania between Ziggler and Jericho. There is still time to go that path. I think it would be the best choice for these two.
