Chris Jericho Not Concerned With Expectations Set By Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay

Chris Jericho is slated to wrestle Will Ospreay at AEW All In 2023 this Sunday from Wembley Stadium. 

This comes after the classic match between Ospreay and Omega at the AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door 2 PPV event a few months ago. 

Speaking on the Casual Conversations with The Wrestling Classic podcast, Jericho talked about not being worried about the expectations of fans. 

“You can try and compare Chris Jericho to Kenny Omega, and it’s not the same. We’re different performers. I think that all three of us have some merit of being three of the greats of all time,” he said. “That’s not trying to butter my own popcorn, but I think some people might think that. Whatever style it is, it’s Jericho and Ospreay. I’m not Kenny Omega, and the match won’t be Kenny and Ospreay because it can’t be because I’m not Kenny. Kenny couldn’t do a Jericho-Ospreay match because he’s not Jericho. Will couldn’t do a Jericho-Kenny match because he’s not us, either. So I can’t really worry about that.

“If they wrestled right before us, if it was like a tournament or something, well, then maybe it’s a different story,” he continued. “I don’t really think about that. Because then it’d be saying, ‘Well, geez, maybe I should be better than Undertaker versus Shawn Michaels.’ It’s different scenarios, and I think with my track record and Will’s track record, you know it’s going to be great. I think it’s a no-brainer that it’s going to be one of the highlights, matches of the night.”
