Chris Jericho is one of the best wrestlers in the world and wherever he goes and performs he will surely create a huge impact and have the fans talking for years to come. Just recently, Chris Jericho wrestled for NJPW and challenged IWGP United States Champion Kenny Omega for his title and it looks like he will be taking on Tetsuya Naito next.
