In a recent edition of his Talk Is Jericho podcast, Chris Jericho commented on his upcoming match against Kenny Omega at New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Wrestle Kingdom 12 pay-per-view.

“Obviously, huge news because of the announcement of ‘Alpha vs. Omega’, Jericho versus Kenny, January 4th 2018 at the Tokyo Dome, New Japan Pro-Wrestling. Yes, I am going to New Japan for the Tokyo Dome to face Kenny Omega in a dream match of all dream matches. Needless to say, it’s something that I’ve been working on for a couple of months. I’m very excited about this.

It’s the first match that I’ve had outside of the WWE since 1999 and the timing couldn’t be better. I mean, Kenny Omega is the best performer in professional wrestling today, the most critically acclaimed, the most buzz, and I came off the greatest run of my career back in 2016, 2017, so I think you really do have best in the world versus best in the world type of situation. But I’ve been saying that I’m the alpha of pro wrestling, by far the greatest of all time, the best in the world, so it is the Alpha versus Omega January 4th at the Tokyo Dome.

If you’re not going to be in Japan, you can watch it on New Japan World, which is their live streaming service and we are working on other ways for you to see it as well.”
