Jericho comes back to WWE to job all the time now. He's said him putting young guys is often his idea that he pitches to Vince. At this stage of his career, Jericho's not getting anymore over than he already is and doesn't need a push. Omega who's NJPWs US champ would get a big rub by beating Jericho. Of course, they could always do a series of matches with Jericho winning the first ones and Omega winning in the end.How do you book a match like this? Omega is NJPWs big boy. Would they really have Jericho come in and beat him? Would Jericho come in for a job?
I just don’t get the politics involved in a match like this.
I thought Jericho was still in WWE.
If he does this, that is solid. I heard Taker was pissed that they broke his WM streak against a part timer. Supposedly, he wanted to lose the streak years earlier to a guy like Orton who could actually use the rub to further his brand. Losing it to Lesner made absolutely no sense.
From what I've read, he doesn't do long-term contracts with WWE anymore so he'll have a short-term contract (ie: 3-4 months) and when that expires, he's free to do other projects until he's ready to come back for another run.
And right now he's not under contract with WWE so he's free to go wrestle for anyone.

So why was HHH at an indie show?
This is from PWI today;
A lot of people have been asking how Vince McMahon felt about Chris Jericho going to work for New Japan against Kenny Omega early next year. Well, today is Jericho's birthday and Vince tweeted the following:
My take on the situation was that due to his relationship with and respect for McMahon, Jericho would have talked to Vince before taking the date. In fact, I would have been shocked if I were to find out that he didn't. The word I received was that he cleared the appearance with WWE.
As it turns out Jose Gonzales sent this item just as I was writing this story: Kenny Omega told Tokyo Sports that "Jericho is not full-time, he is still with WWE. Of course, Vince McMahon has give permission."
So Jericho still got permission from Vince to do this.
Isn’t HHH #2 in WWE hierarchy right now, and the heir apparent? I would think he pretty much has the ability to do as he pleases. His incentives are entirely linked to the success of WWE, so that would make sense.So why was HHH at an indie show?
He did use two Indy wrestlers on RAW recently. Kasey Catal and Isla Dawn both got try outs.Wrestling under different names in squash matches with Asuka.Sounds like he's recruiting for NXT againSo why was HHH at an indie show?
He also runs developmental thats his project.Cant say I'm surprised if he's hitting Indy events when he can.Isn’t HHH #2 in WWE hierarchy right now, and the heir apparent?

This match will be a good indicator of Omega's potential in the WWE. Obviously the main event caliber wrestling in Japan is better but this should showcase if he can work a toned down WWE style that's safe for his opponent and still get a show stealing match out of them.
I don't think his ability to slow down would at all be an indicator. He should be able to do that just fine. It's his ability on mic and character work that would determine his WWE ceiling. What he does works fine in Japan but so much of getting over there is simply based on in ring work. I'm not saying he can't do it, just saying that's what it'll be. It's like AJ Styles. Everyone knew he was a great worker but even at TNA, people weren't sure he had the promo skills to make it work if he went to WWE. Well, he's found a voice. Same with Daniel Bryan, who was pretty darn bland in ROH character wise but became an all time character for WWE
ECW did it first and better.HHH was at an indie show over the weekend too. Wonder if its vince allowing the wrestlers or vince buying them all.
Speaking of indies, you guys see this?
