Before his amazing match against Tetsuya Naito at NJPW Dominion this past Saturday, the new IWGP Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho spoke with Busted Open.
Jericho has been conducting business all around the wrestling scene, but his last WWE appearance was in April in the Greatest Royal Rumble match where he entered at number 50, eventually being eliminated by Braun Strowman. Jericho was asked if Vince McMahon is still okay with him working for NJPW.
"Well, when I told him about the first NJPW match, he was up for it," Jericho said. "Then when I told him I was going to do more, nothing really negative, still very supportive, but I think now it's a bit of a slight - not an issue - but it's another company out there and I know for a fact he takes every company very seriously. Chris Jericho is a part of WWE ... and what's going on with New Japan right now with all of the subscriptions increasing with NJPW World and all of that. I still think everything's cool, but I feel if my involvement with New Japan continues I might get a call one of these days. [Laughs] Until then, I still enjoy doing this because it is different."
