Chris Jericho will have a non WWE match for the 1st time in 18 years and it does not come without controversy. Y2J will take on Kenny Omega January 4th, 2018 in the Tokyo Dome in New Japan pro wrestling. Now I rarely cover anything besides WWE, but seeing Chris has been one of Vinces top guys to call when he needs an opponent; this news came up very shockingly.
So what's does this mean? Rumors are that WWE and Jericho are at odds for the moment, and I'm sure news of one their living legends going to work a competitor's Biggest event just made it worse.
Regardless if your a wrestling fan this will be a huge win; you'll have the Independents top draw Kenny Omega will draw more attention than he has ever before simply because of the name across from him. Now this isn't shocking pretty much the last 10 years of Jericho career has been leaving and coming back for storylines and opponents that he finds creatively worthy or exciting. So of course after his last WWE run went very well, he's looking for another challenge and Kenny is the one.
Well let's see where this goes over the next 2 months. Will it cause WWE to retaliate which is definitely in their wheel house, will it cause WWE to not do business with Chris, or the most likely scenario is that Chris works New Japan one night only, then goes back to WWE in time for Mania season.
