In the edition of today, November 8, of his Talk is Jericho podcast, Chris spoke about said encounter, here are the most relevant things:
"The announcement of Alpha versus Omega... Jericho against Kenny... on January 4, at the Tokyo Dome, with New Japan Pro Wrestling. Yes, I am going to New Japan to face Kenny Omega in the dream match of all dream matches."
"I'm going to tell the whole story in another program, but needless to say, it's something I've been working on for a couple of months. I'm very excited about this. It's the first match I've had outside of WWF / E since 1999. And the timing couldn't be better."
"I mean Kenny Omega is the best professional wrestler today. The most critically acclaimed, the one that caught my attention the most and came out in the best part of my career in 2016/2017. So I think I really have the best in the world in the best situation in the world."
"But I've been saying that I am the Alpha of professional wrestling by far, the best of all time, the best in the world."
"So it's the Alpha against the Omega... On January 4 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. It definitely caused the entire wrestling world to turn their heads towards NJPW."
"It's what everyone is talking about in the world of wrestling. And once again, Chris Jericho is right in the middle. That's what I do, baby. In the last few months, I've been working on this, keeping it a secret from all of you. And I'm really surprised and happy with how this secret ended."
"No one knew until the announcement at the end of Kenny's match in Osaka. Alpha versus Omega will be one of the most important matches in the history of professional wrestling to take place at the Tokyo Dome."
