If its Lesner I will sell my Internet, eat one of my children and set fire to my grandfather.
That's how positive I am that it won't be Lesner.

Just a repost since I got cut off by the lock: I don't think Chris is crossed out to tell us it's not Jericho. I think it's apart of the whole "boy = Jericho, girl = Punk" thing. I think the girl in the video (representing Punk) is taking credit for the boy's work (representing Jericho) and presenting it as something she created. The book she knocks off the desk represents the Best in the World moniker. Punk has taken that moniker away from Jericho and made it out to be his own. At least that is the way I view it. I'm shocked everyone isn't viewing it that way at this point. Watching all of the videos again now that they're done, that's so obvious it slaps you in the face. People keep taking all of this so literally. Like, it's a girl so it must be a female returning. This is all symbolism. Punk is the girl trying to copy and steal the boy's work, and the boy is Jericho, growing increasingly more and more frustrated and insane that his work is being stolen. By the last video you saw the boy freaking out over his notebook as the girl continued to read it over his shoulder. I even got confused mid way through this series of videos when the boy said the girl would announce his arrival, but watching them all again that became a lot more clear when you listen to everything that's said. A girl literally won't be announcing his arrival. Punk will draw him out on Monday after he defeats Ziggler. Which points back to Punk being represented in the videos as the thieving little girl. Then you just throw all of the other little hints in there: -The globe being the only other thing in the class room, clearly another hint about the "Best In The World" monicker being a catalyst for this issue. You've also had these lines said - "it will be the end of the world as you know it" and "powers that be, will be shaken". Along those same lines, verbiage like "the deceptions the weak have perpetrated will be castigated". Chris being angry that Punk has deceived us all in to believing he is the best in the world. And you know, Chris being the only guy on the roster who ever talks like that in promos at all. -The maple leaf in the later videos. -The fact that one of Jericho's main phrases from his last run has been used repeatedly in the later videos. -"I can not help you anymore" meaning he can't save us from the WWE or ourselves anymore as he'd done so many times before in his mind. -Never mind the fact that on both Raw and Smackdown the final videos interrupted the man himself holding up the WWE Championship, or a video package where it comes right back in to Punk holding up his Championship. Then like some people have posted here before: {Spoiler}One of the two reputable news sites reporting as far back as late summer that Jericho was in talks to return now, and not coincidentally his bitter veteran agenda picked up steam on twitter right around that time. And they've been reporting him since the second the first video aired six weeks ago. If it isn't him then they've fooled me good. Everything in the videos says it is though. Go back and watch all six in sequence again if you haven't, and look at it through the eyes of the scenario Cam and I laid out. It makes more sense than anyone else mentioned.

Unless Lesnar agreed to this deal months ago and then threw his match the other day, he's out. I originally pegged it as Taker, but after watching all of the videos again it's quite obviously Jericho.

I don't think it's Lesnar although I do expect a Lesnar return in 2012. Probably as the big summer angle.
It seems pretty obvious it's Jericho and I've gotta give creative credit, they've done a cracking job with these vignettes. It's got a subtleness and cleverness about it that I don't usually associate with WWE creative who usually are about a subtle as a brick through a window.

His jealous, bitter veteran promos will probably make me wanna change the channel two or three weeks into the angle...

No chance in hell that it's Lesnar.
I'd bet my house on it. If I had a house, that is.

There is also the thing of if Jericho was to return and feud with Punk (like so many keep saying will happen) then why wouldn't they have a match at the Royal Rumble? It wouldn't make sense for Jericho to return in early January, feud with Punk, but then Punk faces someone else at the Royal Rumble while Jericho is lost in the shuffle.

It's Maven, he's coming back to reclaim his #1 contenders match for the WWE Title as he was never eliminated from the Royal Rumble.

This is my first post in the "It Begins" thread. I was hoping I could catch a summary of what's gone on, but it seems "the Internet" is still in mystery as to what/who will be revealed tomorrow. Well played, WWE, well played.
I know who WON'T be on the show... and that's Brodus Clay lol.

If it's Jericho: Why wouldn't he be coming back to kick Randy Orton's ass?
