Chris Jericho Appears On NJPW Setting Up Wrestle Kingdom Showdown, Kenny Omega At NJPW Museum

After weeks of back and forth on Twitter, Chris Jericho has appeared on New Japan Pro Wrestling at Power Struggle to confront Kenny Omega and set up a future in ring showdown.

Less than 24 hours ago, Jericho threatened to end Omega’s title reign.

And before that, Jericho gave a backhanded compliment to Omega by insulting New Japan Wrestling – comparing it to minor leagues:

Your matches are incredible. Too bad nobody sees them…. #minorleagues https://t.co/Gk2fL9j6we

However, having worked in New Japan before, it’s clear that any insult to NJPW, suggesting that it’s over-rated, is tongue in cheek and being used to work the thousands of on-lookers on twitter.

Now it appears as though all the work has come to a head, and that the threat fired at Kenny Omega wasn’t empty.
