Chris Jericho Attacks Kenny Omega At All In 2018

Chris Jericho has been making waves all year long on the wrestling scene outside of WWE, and the Ayatollah of Rock’N’Rolla fooled everyone by making another huge statement. He appeared at All In 2018 to attack Kenny Omega, setting up a likely match on the Jericho Cruise.

At Wrestle Kingdom 12, Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega put together one of the better matches of 2018, as Jericho challenged Omega for the IWGP United States Championship. This was one of the most intense feuds of the year, with Jericho using mindgames, cursing, and absolute savagery to sell Alpha vs. Omega, which didn’t disappoint on NJPW’s biggest stage.

Jericho wasn’t done, though, as he went after Tetsuya Naito later on in the year before adding the IWGP Intercontinental Championship to his incredible list of accolades. Y2J, of course, is a nine-time WWE Intercontinental Champion.

But even with the Jericho Cruise and rumors swirling that he could work with Don Callis at Impact Wrestling, I don’t think anyone could have ever seen Jericho showing up at All In 2018.

That’s exactly what he did.

After Omega hit the One-Winged Angel to defeat Pentagon Jr. in a grueling dream match that more than met expectations, the lights went out. They went out for so long that some worried that there was an actual outage.

The outage, though, was for Jericho, who started putting the boots to Omega, dressed up as Pentagon Jr. He then lifted up his mask and addressed Omega, stating that he’ll be waiting the IWGP Heavyweight Champion’s appearance on the Jericho Cruise.

This was an insane moment that took All In to the next level. On a show where Jordynne Grace eliminated Brian Cage in a battle royal, Flip Gordon made waves, and Cody Rhodes captured the NWA Worlds Title from Nick Aldis, Jericho once again stole all the headlines.

It will be exciting to see what Jericho and Omega do for a second time after shining at Wrestle Kingdom 12. Jericho is wrestling’s biggest maverick right now, and it is wonderful that he is raising the profile of wrestling on the independent scene.
