News On Chris Jericho’s Status With NJPW

Dave Meltzer reported in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that newly crowned IWGP Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho is not expected to appear at the NJPW Cow Palace event unless he is trying to surprise fans.

It was noted in this report that Jericho isn’t expected to be appearing in NJPW again for several months because Jericho’s top priority right now is Fozzy. Thus, the IC Title is on ice for the time being.

Jericho has Fozzy tour dates in August during the same time that NJPW will be running shows at Budokan Hall.
