Chris Jericho Comments on Role at Raw 25

Some Chris Jericho fans expressed disappointment the 47-year-old wasn’t used in a more prominent role at Raw’s 25th Anniversary show.

Jericho has had a monumental month of January, after all. At Wrestle Kingdom 12, he wrestled a 40-minute match against Kenny Omega. The next night he would attack Tetsuya Naito at New Year’s Dash.

Despite the international spotlight Jericho has been under as of late, he was not disappointed by his Raw 25 role. A fan asked him as such on Twitter, and Jericho responded:

Nope. It was exactly what I wanted to do. Nothing more, nothing less. https://t.co/nqi548DJv5

According to Jericho, he received Vince McMahon’s blessing to work against Omega in NJPW. What is not clear, however, is if Vince has given Jericho permission to continue working with the promotion.

NJPW returns to the United States in Long Beach on March 25th for “Strong Style Evolved”. If Jericho and Naito are to wrestle each other, this event seems like an ideal date and location.
