WWE: Why Chris Jericho Needs to Turn Babyface When He Returns

As many agree, Chris Jericho's return to the WWE has been lackluster at best. For the most part, he has put over talent and has done nothing to create a better legacy for his career.

In order for Jericho not to be remembered as the established star who became irrelevant, something drastic must change.

If you don't know by now, Chris Jericho is suspended for 30 days due to an incident in Brazil during his match with CM Punk. This may very well be a blessing in disguise, as Jericho was seemingly going to add Randy Orton as the newest person on his list to put over.

His heel run since his return on the first episode of Raw in 2012 has been forgettable and greatly criticized.

While it appears as if he returned to heighten the careers of the people he put over, this project has failed. Neither CM Punk nor Sheamus' careers have skyrocketed, or even been propelled, since Jericho jobbed to them. If anything, both of them have gotten a bit more stale since the beginning of the year.

The perfect time to bring back Jericho would be around the Money in the Bank pay-per-view. He was the creator of the match and announced its official inception after his idea was cleared by Eric Bischoff in 2005. Imagine, the "vintage videos" of Jericho initiating the match and all the memorable spots that he had in the ones he participated in.

His promos could easily turn him face if John Laurinaitis is the opposition.

Returning a few weeks before the Money in the Bank match—and winning it—would be the most opportune time to turn face. Then, he could leave for a while to tend to his Fozzy commitments and start a feud leading to Survivor Series with the long list of heels the WWE currently has such as Miz, Barrett (who will be back by then), Alberto Del Rio, Cody Rhodes, Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger or even Damien Sandow.

In short, the "turn Jericho face" campaign has commenced. Join me in this revolution.
