It appears that Cody vs. Chris Jericho could be happening in the future.
During the recent episode of All Elite Wrestling’s ‘The Road To Double Or Nothing’, the former WWE superstar blasted the Executive Vice President over an interview he did with the New York Post. Late in the episode, Cody ignored a phone call from Jericho, with the former Intercontinental champion leaving the following on voicemail:
“Hey you little pissant! Why don’t you answer the phone, Cody? Are you scared because Chris Jericho read your piece in the New York Post where you called me a dick? You have no idea how much of a dick I can really be. Do you understand me?”
“Don’t you ever forget, Cody, that you are not my boss, and you do not talk to me that way. If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t be in AEW—there would be no AEW! I’m the one that got you that Vice president position, I’m the one who put you on the map. I’m the one who is feeding every single family on this roster, including yours. I’m the one that’s putting dog treats in Pharoah’s mouth.”
“I’m going to tell you something else—you keep that dog away from me. I don’t like dogs, and I don’t like you. You need to apologize to me, and the next time you call me a dick, you piece of shit, I’ll slap your face. Don’t you ever forget where you came from, ever, and don’t you forget who you’re dealing with. I’m Chris Jericho, and you need to thank me. Kenny Omega needs to thank me after I beat him at Double Or Nothing, do you understand me? In the meantime, you enjoy those fancy-pants suits you’re buying on the money that I made for you. You’re welcome… love your friend, Chris Jericho. “The Dick”
While Cody doesn’t have a match set for Double or Nothing, Jericho will be facing Kenny Omega in a Wrestle Kingdom 12 rematch. It's possible that the two could meet at the next pay-per-view, Fight For The Fallen, in July; however, that’s just pure speculation at this point.
