Chris Jericho was recently a guest on the Ross Report hosted by WWE Hall of Famer: Jim Ross. During the interview, he briefly touched on his upcoming match against Kenny Omega at Wrestle Kingdom 12.
Jericho dropped the bombshell recently that he would be facing Omega at New Japan Pro Wrestling’s biggest show of the year. This was a surprise because Jericho hasn’t wrestled outside of WWE since 1999.
It was also surprising because of Jericho’s relationship with Vince McMahon. From interviews and Jericho’s books, it is clear that there is a very strong relationship between Vince and Jericho.
Here is what Jericho said when he was asked if Vince knew he was doing the Omega match:
“You know how smart I am throughout my career, and you know the relationship I have with Vince, and I would never jeopardize that, or give him any nasty surprises. So, I’ll just leave it at that.”
Jericho also says that he thinks when the wrestling business is healthy, Vince is happy. Looks like he can put to bed the rumors that Jericho did this behind Vince’s back.
