If you were wondering how WWE would handle promoting Chris Jericho in the wake of his epic troll job during his return last week on Raw, well, here's the promo making the rounds for next Monday night's episode.
The text from the video:
"The prophecy fulfilled. Chris Jericho has returned. After an overwhelming homecoming reception, Y2J was left speechless. This Monday, what will Chris Jericho have in store for the WWE Universe?"
It's interesting that they would say Jericho didn't talk because he was rendered speechless by the reception he got from the fans. Because that's just not true. Not that they should be telling us the truth at all times but he was running around screaming, "OH YEAH BAY-BAY, COME ON, YEAH!"
That's hardly speechless.
Of course, he also did this hilariously awesome backstage interview in which he let his LED jacket speak for him. That's the bigger question, at this point. We know Jericho will be at Raw but will the jacket?
We shall see.

I honestly hope to Primus in Cybertron...
…That this angle is Jericho’s baby. He’s got enough cachet in the Dub that one would think he’d be capable of booking his own return angle.
Time to spread a little chaos...

I’d bet real money on it (say… 1 Canadian dollar). This just seems like something that Jericho would come up with. I mean can you really see the guys at WWE Creative deciding that Chris Jericho’s debut would be a bigass troll job?
First of all...nerd rec'd.
Secondly…you’re absolutely right. This is all his doing. It HAS to be. It’s too GOOD to NOT be him.
(also…i see what you did there with the dollar comment)
Given that Master McMahon is consistently behind the times...
I doubt he even knows what the modern definition of “trolling” is. So to answer your question, nah.
Time to spread a little chaos...
The jacket is awesome, but it is the little nod smile thing he does after the jacket lights up that really cracks me up.

I think that's the coolest part of it.
His timing of it is perfect. Man, I could honestly watch this all day.
I hope the jacket returns

Funny..
I just watched this on SD.. just 1 minute ago.. the commercial is being forwarded as I try to type faster.
Suum Cuique
By this time next week they will be figuring out how to sell replicas of Jericho's jacket, even high end ones
Jericho’s jacket is more over than half the mid-card
The booking as a whole for wwe just flat out sucks. This is just an extension of it.
