Chris Jericho has previously denied interest in returning to the WWE due to outside ventures such as his podcast and rock band Fozzy, but the June edition of the WWE Magazine may have spoiled plans for a "Y2J" return as it has him listed as a current wrestler.
Updated Card For WWE Payback 2014
According to Wrestlingheadlines.com, WWE Magazine promotes Jericho as a combatant in an upcoming Money in the Bank Ladder Match, with that pay-per-view set to air June 29 at the TD Garden in Boston. Jericho is featured in an article about the event that sites current WWE Superstars that have participated in the ladder match but haven't won the briefcase and subsequent title shot.
Jericho, a four-time Money in the Bank participant, is listed along with Christian (six appearances) and Kofi Kingston and Cody Rhodes, who also have four appearances each, as a Superstar who has never won the ladder match but participated in it multiple times.

"Already with a Hall of Fame-worthy career, Jericho could still use a win at this event to make us forget about some lackluster recent returns to the ring," writes WWE Magazine. "A contract cash-in would be just the thing he needs to net him a seventh World title also."
Jericho, 43, has been working part-time stints for WWE when he can, but he hasn't appeared in the company since last summer.
Jericho told U.K.'s The Mirror that he is still in good standing with the company.
"I have a good relationship with the WWE and there's no animosity, but it's not like we're calling each other every day finding out what we had for dinner that night," he told the publication.
Jericho also told the affiliate that he had no plans of returning currently, but it looks as though that may have changed.
"No time soon, I left last July and I've been working pretty much non-stop since then between Fozzy tours and doing the new Fozzy record and writing another book and doing my podcasts and a web series," he said about a return. "There are a lot of projects in the Chris Jericho pantheon as always. That's not to say that I won't go back but I have no plans as of right now, just because I have so much other stuff going on that I'm enjoying. We'll see, there's no controversy or animosity it's more of a timing thing; the timing has to be right for me and right for the WWE as well. When it is I'm sure we'll both consider me coming back."
While it remains to be seen if it comes to fruition, it looks like Jericho may be returning to the WWE next month.
