Chris Jericho Reveals His Status For WrestleMania 34
September 22, 2021
WWE and Wrestle Kingdom 12 star Chris Jericho recently spoke with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated’s Extra Mustard, and below are some interview highlights.
“If you want to see Chris Jericho wrestle, the Tokyo Dome is where you’re going to see me,” said Jericho, who wrestles Bullet Club leader Kenny Omega in an “Alpha vs. Omega” dream encounter at New Japan Pro Wrestling’s signature show on Jan. 4. “If you watch one show this year, that’s the one to watch.”
On his WrestleMania 34 status:
“I could go back to the WWE, I love working for Vince McMahon,” said Jericho. “But if I showed up tomorrow, as of right now, I am not slotted for the main event of WrestleMania. I am in the main event at Wrestle Kingdom.”

On why he is the main event of Wrestle Kingdom 12 despite Naito’s claim he is not:
“I’m not the one calling this a double main event, it’s New Japan calling it that–and they’ve already sold more tickets this year, with three weeks before the show, than last year. I’d say it’s a smart move to bring Chris Jericho in and a smart move to make Alpha-Omega a double main event. If Naito doesn’t like that, then tough luck. That’s pro wrestling.”
