While the former AEW World champion has been off television since April of last year, a filing for a new trademark application might give a glimpse of Jericho’s next gimmick.

Filed two days ago with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Jericho applied to trademark the word Cornerstone, for goods and services including shirts and apparel, entertainment services under performances by a wrestler, and even providing wrestling news via a computer network.

Jericho was last seen using The Learning Tree gimmick in AEW but has been absent for nearly a year now. There were rumors that his contract was expiring at the end of 2025 but news then came out that it was extended to reflect his time off from the company.

It remains unclear when Jericho is returning at this point.
