I don't know if anyone has mentioned this. Maybe they have, but I haven't read through all the Jericho stuff. I am 99% sure this will NOT be the direction WWE goes with the Jericho return, but I got to thinking...
What if the reason Jericho isn't saying anything is because he can't? What if he is being controlled by someone else (Stephanie McMahon) and has only been "programmed" to say a few generic phrases and smile?
This would tie it back into the promos. Steph can still be the "she" that keeps being mentioned. It would also explain why Jericho seems to just be robotic when he walks and have a fake smile plastered on his face.
So, why would Jericho be under Steph's control? Steph needs someone to take out CM Punk because of the comments he made about her and her family. She chooses Jericho because she thinks that he can replace Punk as the face of the company.
Like I said, crazy and certain to not be the case, but I thought it was interesting.

I've heard a theory about Jericho having a "silent" gimmick where he wouldn't talk and say only certain things like "Yeah" "baby" and such but nothing like this. I doubt it but hey it's interesting.

That is interesting. The idea that they wouldn't bring him back unless he'd take orders, that's actually really cool.
But the backstage thing where he lit up his jacket seems to imply crazier medicine in the works.

And when he's released from her control, right back to calling the fans gelatinous tapeworms, sycophants and parasites.

I was thinking maybe he's the modern WWE version of Harpo Marx. Only instead of honking a bicycle horn and playing a harp, he makes his jacket light up.

Jericho is going to be a deaf wrestler now, then one day he's going to turn to CM Punk and say I COULD DO IT WHY COULDN'T YOU YOU POSER and hit him with the Codebreaker.

I hoped it would be something linked in to Twitter.
A lot of people nowadays express themselves through social media rather than real life.
I hoped he would come out, say / do nothing, but then Tweet all of his innermost thoughts online.
Doesn't look like that's going to be the case - but it would be an awesome way of furthering a character away from the usual channels.

Will he quote Terminator 2?
I will enjoy it if he randomly answers questions with "Becoz you told-me-to"
