Chris Jericho was recently a guest on CBS Sports’ “In This Corner” podcast. During the interview, he spoke about being removed from the casket match against the Undertaker at the Greatest Royal Rumble.
For those who missed it, Jericho was initially announced as Rusev’s replacement in the match. A few days later, Rusev was added back in the place of Jericho.
Here is what Jericho had to say about what happened (h/t to Wrestling INC):
“For me, at this point, whether they want me to be part of the Royal Rumble or work against Undertaker or work against Funaki in a Lingerie Match, whatever they want me to do there I will. That’s the good thing about my legacy and where I am at this point of my career. I can be the opening match or the main event, whatever it is, it’s going to be good. Things changed, which is part of the world of WWE, happens all the time.
“For me, until I actually walk into the ring, sometimes you never know what is going to happen. Things get changed during the show sometimes. I think fans sometimes get a little to excited about certain things that happened and didn’t happen.”
Here is the rumored reason why Rusev was added back into the match.
