Chris Jericho made a surprise appearance via video package at today’s NJPW Best of the Super Juniors Finals at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan.
The former WWE World Heavyweight champion had another message for the IWGP Intercontinental champ, Tetsuya Naito.
“You made a big deal of going on last at Wrestle Kingdom 12, but as we all know you weren’t really the main event, were you Naito? It was Alpha vs. Omega – the match that was talked about around the world, around the globe. I’m just telling you the facts. You know, once again, you were booted out of the main event slot, but this time it was by me. By a Gaijin. By Chris Jericho.”
Y2J continued to mock Naito for not defeating Kazuchika Okada at Wrestle Kingdom 12.
“You’re the best New Japan has to offer. Even though you lost to Okada in the ‘semi-main event’ at the Tokyo Dome, I know you better than that. You shouldn’t be losing to Okada. You should be the IWGP Heavyweight Champion, but you’re not. That’s where I come in. You want to be known as a worldwide superstar, and I’m going to help you get there you f—ing moron! Don’t you understand? Chris Jericho’s going to take you to the Promised Land! Just being in the ring with me puts you on a different level.”
Chris Jericho vs. Tetsuya Naito will square off this Saturday at NJPW Dominion, taking place at the legendary Osaka Jo-Hall in Osaka, Japan.
