Time for Y2J to return?

Agree with Sting's Bat. I'm sure it was temporary. Earlier that day Jericho had taken the beating from the Nexus.

Joining Cena's "Brigade" is a form of revenge of his beating. In fact, all of Cena's team was "beaten" by Nexus asides from Khali and Truth.

Other than that WWE is making me look forward to Summerslam rather than Hard Justice.
 
i think one of two things could happen.

first, cena betrays everyone at summerslam and joins nexus, saying that getting back the belt is all that matters to him. this could have jericho turn face and he could take out barrett, since he was his protege. i see either orton or hhh as the one that takes on heel cena. this is damn pretty unlikely since if cena ever turns heel, orton will have to get bigger and it would happen at mania.

second, jericho betrays his team and shows himself as the leader. he could have set up the beatdown to join the group. either way, a face turn is highly unlikely.
 
He could turn face somewhere down the road, but it likely won't be here. As other said, this is simply a temporary truce to combat a greater foe. The only reason Jericho is on this team is because he was dissed by Barrett and assaulted by Nexus.
 
He is starting to get the Randy Orton treatment where a lot of people can't help but cheer for him. Sometimes he has to degrade the fans just to get heat which doesn't work all of the time. I think he could be face but if he does turn face he should try to do something other than the Y2J gimmick.
 
god, he needs to turn face, the heel:face ratio is so unbalanced right now, the AYATOLLAH OF ROCK AND ROLLA BREAKS WALLS thats why he needs to come back
 
When Jericho teamed up to take on the Alliance he was seen as a face, but as soon as the storyline was over he immediately went back to his assclown heelish ways. I think this whole Cena brigade thing will have Jericho be in an alliance with Cena for now, but it's just because they have one common goal. After this thing is over, he'll go back to hating on the hypocrites again.
 
I think he should turn face for sure he has been a heel long enough i think hes in need for one more great face run before he all said and done it would be nice for sure. On a side note i think Jericho and The Miz should be moved to Smackdown to add some star power back to that show and some depth to the WHW Title mix but back on topic Jericho should be a face.
 
While it's certainly not a done deal by any means, the second I saw Jericho walk down the ramp I thought "Oh, he's obviously going to be the heel plant who will "turn" on the faces during the match and be discovered as the mastermind of Nexus".
However this idea conflicts with two major rumors going around. Namely that Hunter wants to go heel and be the the Nexus mastermind, and the second being that WWE is none to pleased with Jericho for his outside non-wrestling ventures. If either or both are to be believed, though it would make sense Jericho will not be revealed to be working with/in-charge of Nexus.
So regarding the OP, I don't believe Jericho is in-line for a face turn in any significantly lasting way.
 
man I sure hope not...chris jericho is one of the greatest heels of all time..granted his latest run isnt the best example of it...but...his heelness in wcw was the epitome of what a heel should be.

I hope rufus is revealed to be the leader of nexus. :lmao:
 
Nah... it really shouldnt happen. He used to be an great face when he had his long hair and was the ayatollah of rock and rollah because his gimmick was funny and just cool. But now he is so serious and he has gone to deep with this gimmick to be turned face.

Trust me, he is only in team cena because of what Barratt and the Nexus did to him and will be heel as soon as this is over. This is just more of a "Heroes and Villain getting together to fight a mutual enemy" thing. Like in the Xmen when Wolverine, Cyclops and the good guys team up with Magneto to fight Apocalypse and etc.

Though you could be right, but why fix something that isnt broken.

yea I think that will be with edge to he will go back to twener and jericho has asked MrMcmahon to keep him heel for the rest of his career but you never know
 
Well i was at RAW and when Chris came out for the triple threat he got booed alot(Not dure how it was on TV) Therewere like 20 people cheering for him(including me). When Chris came out for the Cena alliance at the end Fans really didnt know if they wanted to cheer fopr him or not till they realized he was with Cena same way for Edge(I was Ceering for The Nexus till Edge, Jomo, Y2J, and Bret Hart came out and when Nexus gave Cena the two choices me and this other guy in my section were yelling pick #2)(the one where he would of got beat up) sorry for for getting off topic alittle.
Do i think he'll turn face NO
Do I think he"ll stay heel NO
I think he'll be a Tweener
 
I don't think Jericho will turn face. However, i suppose it doesn't really matter, the guy can do both roles fantastic. His second spell in WWE started with him being a proper babyface, and people loved him. Now, he's a heel, and he's the guy that everyone loves to hate. Either way, no matter his character, people love him in some way shape or form. Personally, i think the only way Jericho will turn face is if either someone turns heel, or HHH/Taker comes back heel. Otherwise, theres no point in turning him. As someone said earlier, why fix something that aint broke?
 
I absolutely love the Y2J character, but no. Just...no. He's magic at being who he is now, he doesn't mind jobbing to the mid-card faces to overstack the main event. He can get any crowd against him, he can make any feud interesting. We have a fairly even heel:face ratio. And Jericho, like somebody said, would fall to mid card, should he become a face. So no, it is not, nor will it ever be, time for Y2J to come back.
 
Its an iffy for me. I love Jericho's character at the moment. He has worked his butt off on this character. It works really well for him. He has become the asshole of the WWE. I think that is the opinion of the majority of fans. He is amazing at getting heat from any crowd. However, this character has gotten stale. He seems to come out and say the same thing week in and week out. Though he's the one guy that seems to be able to keep it somewhat fresh, as he is still getting heat.

On the other hand Jericho is know for his loud mouth face persona. The one who makes the jokes and tears everyone down. That's what made me Chris Jericho mark. While I love his heel promo's I think his face promo's are some of the best of all time. So honestly I would love to see Y2J back. It has been to long.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if we never...EVER....EEEEEEEEEVER...see Y2J agaaaainn..... Sorry, had to get that out of my system. But no, seriously, I don't think we'll ever see Y2J make a return out of the bowls of the evil Chris Jericho. Jericho personally thinks that his character is the best it's ever been, and he connects much better as a maniacal heel than a cocky face. His work with Shawn Michaels in 2008 spreading out into his suit-wearing championship days proves that he's right. He's never been better than as "the best in the world at what he does" character. His ring work is a bit more methodical, his promos are so much better, and he's just a lot more enteratining to watch. And we all know that what Chris Jericho wants...he gets. Not because he's a selfish prick who does what he wants and walks all over creative. But because he knows the business, controls his character, and does what he wants because if they don't let him, he'll find something else to do. I dont' think Jericho will ever WANT to replay the Y2J role, unless maybe it's for a final run in the company and he wants to get super over. But I just don't see it happening...
 
I don't think we need to see Y2J again. I've enjoyed Chris' work as "the best in the world at what he does". Lets face the facts Jericho as a heel instead of the cocky face he cuts better promos well in my opinion and of course i find him way more entertaining to watch. In my mind i think Jericho want's to keep the character he is and i hope he stays as a heel.

Jericho is a much better heel. He knows how to get the fans riled up and he knows how to get in superstars face's. Y2J dosen't need to come back because me being a Jericho fan he is doing good as the heel he is.
 
I think It's a good time for Y2J,
But not just this second,
I think he should wait to get called back to Smackdown to bring back Y2J,
When Smackdown finally gets off MyNetworkTV and move to SYFY,
WWE's going to put some stars back on Smackdown,
Right now RAW has,
Chris, Randy, Cena, and Edge,
I know atleast 2's getting called back to Smackdown,
& I think Chris'll be one of them,
Making it the perfect time for Y2J,
New Channel,
New Jericho
 
I love Jericho no matter what he is, heel or face, but I'd love to see the return of Y2J. If he does get drafted back to SmackDown, I doubt he'd go on to get the World Title in the present climate, maybe he'd get the Intercontinental for the 10th time (literally) and have a decent reign.

The Y2J character was great, no matter who he was up against at the time, I miss it dearly... All else I can hope for is Jericho growing his long hair back...
 
Hey guys, first thread here (aside from a request thread.) I was looking around forums and I found someone asking if Chris Jericho would turn face again. What I wanna know is, if you think we will see Y2J, how will it happen. If you don't think it will happen-- why not?. Sooo, to sum it all up

1. Do you think Jericho will turn face.

2. If he does turn face, when and how will it happen?

3. If you don't think he turns face, why not.

Personally, I think he will turn face, much like a Randy Orton face turn, he will be heel, but the crowd will cheer him, then he goes face.
I think it will happen at SummerSlam. After his match with Nexus, he may come on the mic, and say he has a lot of respect for Cena, and shake his hand and hold up his arm, etc.

Tell me what you guys think
 
Jericho will never be a face again. He's stated on many occasions that he never wants to be a face again. I don't see it happening strictly because of that fact. He's only siding with Cena, JoMo, R-Truth and the Hitman because of the Nexus. Plain and simple. Don't get your hopes up.
 
i can see Y2J returning back to face soon because he should be leaving soon. i hope he does cuz i miss the comedian jericho alot! also with cena possibly turning heel, jericho and orton can cover the face greatly as a replaCEMENT...imo
 
Yes, it's inevitable. The crowd have been screaming for "Y2J" for the longest time. In fact, I swear that Jericho was getting bigger pops than Cena during their tag match on Raw. If Cena turns heel at Summerslam (which I now predict will probably happen), Jericho will almost certainly turn face. The writing is already on the wall and Jericho seeing the "bigger picture" is evidence enough. Perhaps Jericho will be the first one to feud with the new heel Cena after Summerslam....now that would be an amazing and exciting prospect and a great feud.
 
I don't see it happening yet. It will happen again but not yet.

And to be quite honest, I really don't care. I love Jericho whether he's heel or face. He's a two-sided coin and both sides sparkle as if they've just come straight from the mint. I don't think I could ever get bored. He is truly the best in the world at what he does.
