The Return of Y2J?

This past Monday's Raw & Tuesday's ECW featured a "Matrix-style" futuristic commercial with a series of numbers flashing and blipping across the screen. No real information or announcement was given, but one of the first wrestlers it causes you to think about is Y2J, as he always used the countdown on his WWE entrance video, and had that futuristic sort of intro.

According to a weblog by Kevin Eck of Baltimore Sun, there were a few clues offered which indicate that this might signal a Jericho return for No Mercy:

"Speculation about Chris Jericho returning to WWE at the No Mercy pay-per-view has been the hot topic on wrestling Web sites the past few days. The buzz was created after a cryptic clip of computerized messages aired on Raw Monday that included “Save_Us.222” and “7_Oct,” the latter being the date of No Mercy.

The clip has become wrestling’s version of the Zapruder film, as people on wrestling Web sites and message boards have tried to decipher the clues. The most telling message in the clip is “CD_Volume 4_1.” The first track on WWE’s fourth CD is Jericho’s entrance theme." (Source:Ring Posts, Baltimore Sun

Jericho was seen months ago on the Larry King Live show, along with John Cena and other stars discussing Chris Benoit and the WWE's issues. At the time, Jericho indicated he was trying to work out a deal to come back to the WWE. Cena said he'd welcome the opportunity to fight him again. There also has been a picture in the opening of Raw with Chris Jericho in it. It would be great to see Jericho back again on any of the rosters. With the injuries, suspensions, firings, resignations and other WWE absences, the more star power, the better.
