At Wrestle Kingdom 12, Chris Jericho was defeated by Kenny Omega in an extraordinary match which felt like a true event given the latter's reputation and Y2J's association with WWE. Now, Jericho has talked about that for the first time and it sounds like he wants to return to New Japan Pro Wrestling in a Brock Lesnar type capacity where he's a draw who can shift tickets and PPV buys.

In the videos below, he talks about how his match with Omega resulted in an unexpected increase in ticket sales and NJPW World subscriptions, proving that Y2J is "able to draw money."

Jericho also discusses his future and says that WWE's decision to put huge matches like Braun Strowman vs. Brock Lesnar and John Cena vs. Roman Reigns on secondary PPVs helped make his match against Omega even bigger than it otherwise would have been and he now wants to appear in NJPW the same way Brock Lesnar does in WWE (so him showing up means something).

What do you guys think of Y2J's remarks? Let us know that in the comments section down below.
