Chris Jericho Reveals Who He Was Originally Set To Wrestle At Night Of Champions

Chris Jericho talked about his current run with WWE on the latest edition of Talk Is Jericho on PodcastOne.com. He noted that his run from April to June of last year was fine but it didn’t have much purpose and that led to him losing a lot. Jericho, however, says he does what he’s told to do and doesn’t have an issue with that.

He said that he enjoyed his current run and it had a purpose. He said that he did not agree to come back until it was agreed upon that he would feud with Bray Wyatt. He said that he felt that the last couple of weeks (against Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton) were two of the best matches from his current run. He said that he was originally supposed to wrestle Seth Rollins at Night of Champions, but Vince McMahon changed it to Randy Orton. He said that he and Orton had great chemistry, great timing, great selling, and loves how he works. He praised Orton for being a pro and feels that with all the talent in the company right now that WWE is in good shape right now.

He also said that he kind of pulled his groin in the match with Orton and said that he’ll be back soon and maybe sooner than you think and would have stuck around longer if it wasn’t for his Fozzy tour.
