The first ever Undisputed Champion will be at a European tour with his rock band Fozzy at the end of January and is expected to perform in France on January 28, 2018 - the night before the Royal Rumble - according to Sportskeeda.

The band also announced their Spring tour which starts on February 28 in New Orleans, Louisiana and ends on April 8 in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire - the same night Wrestlemania takes place at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.

Jericho founded Fozzy in 1999 and said: "If Metallica and Journey had a bastard child, it would be Fozzy."

The 47-year-old made his last WWE appearance on an episode of Smackdown LIVE on July 25 in a Triple Threat match for the US title against Kevin Owens and AJ Styles.

Jericho failed to win the title for a third time as he was pinned by Styles.

The six-time world champion has since been busy with the promotion of Fozzy's seventh studio album, Judas.

The nine-time Intercontinental Champion is also set to challenge Kenny Omega for the IWPG United States title at Wrestle Kingdom 12 on January 4 in Tokyo, Japan.

Jericho is no stranger to huge returns as he expertly played the internet in all of his three major comebacks so anything can happen when it comes to the Canadian/American superstar.

But it looks almost impossible for him to attend both major shows.

However, the wrestling legend could be in line for a huge appearance on the first RAW or Smackdown after Wrestlemania.
