Chris Jericho Returns, Laurinaitis To Play Guest Referee

Ths highlight of this week's Monday Night Raw was undoubtedly the return of Chris Jericho. The return of Chris Jericho has been promoted for weeks now. The WWE fans were looking forward to the return of Chris Jericho who showed no signs of turning face.

Chris Jericho returned played to the crowd for some time running around the ring, drops the microphone and leaves the ring without uttering a word. Chris Jericho seems to be making it clear that he is not here to pander to the WWE Universe. The last time Chris Jericho was around, he was one of the most hated heels.

Laurinaitis to play referee at Royal Rumble

The CM Punk - John Laurinaitis storyline saw an intersting twist. During CM Punk's title match with Dolph Ziggler, John Laurinaitis inadvertently distracted the referee. Confusion ensued and CM Punk gets counted out. Punk lost to Dolph Ziggler, but retained the title as championships do not change hands via countout.

Later on, CM Punk was seen backstage with John Laurinaitis. Laurinaitis gave Dolph Ziggler a rematch at the Royal Rumble. The match will see John Laurinaitis as the special guest referee!

And, by the way, Brodus Clay is yet to return.
