Chris Jericho is confident that there’s another main event-worthy story he could tell with Kenny Omega in Japan.
In an interview with Monthly Puroresu, Chris Jericho spoke about a potential rematch with Kenny Omega in Japan. The two met for the first time at Wrestle Kingdom 12 in Japan and they’ve crossed paths on multiple occasions since then. All of those subsequent matches took place under the AEW banner, but Jericho says there’s a story in place for a return to Japan.
“The story is there. And once again, if you look at 2018, 2019 and 2020, Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho headlined the Tokyo Dome between the two of us. Actually, I think 2017 as well. Between four years, the two of us headlined the Tokyo Dome – one of four years in a row. Like the Tokyo Dome. The three years I did, it was two main events and I was one, and Kenny was the other in 2018 and 2019, and in 2020 Kenny had gone – but I was still one of the main events. So in 2017, Kenny was the main event.
“So you look at Kenny and Jericho, I mean it’s right there. Whatever combination you wanna put us in – we’ll draw. I mean you could put Kenny and Jericho as the “Golden Jets”, which is Bobby Hall’s nickname in Winnipeg in the seventies, the Golden Jets. This is like Tanahashi and Ibushi or Okada and Ibushi or whatever it may be. I think that’s the Tokyo Dome main event right there. You know, I mean it’s easy. So all of those bullets are in the chamber, so to speak. And I’m sure we’ll get to it when the time is right.”
