Second Masked Assailant at WWE Royal Rumble 2026 – The Leading Candidates

Chris Jericho

This is a bit of a dream idea, but wouldn’t it be something to have the masked attacker revealed as Y2J? His contract with AEW is up, and rumours are running that he is going to return to World Wrestling Entertainment. Jericho is known to be a man who loves to make an impact, and what bigger impact could there be to insert himself back into a hot program?

The clothing the attacker wore hid the body type well, so it’s hard to pick apart anything but the eyes, which we could see through the mask, did match Jericho’s. Yes, they could belong to just about anyone, but a man can dream, can’t he?

Chris Jericho also has some history with Seth Rollins. He was one of the first men to stand across from The SHIELD, and they say time heals all wounds. Seth Rollins got some outside assistance to create a new stable to battle The Vision. Again, this is an outside shot, but it would be pretty darn awesome if WWE pulled it off.
