Chris Jericho Addresses WWE & AEW Nemesis

A former AEW and WWE champion with a multi-decade career, Chris Jericho has named the stars he considers to be his in-ring nemeses.

With a thirty-five-year wrestling career, Chris Jericho has been in many standout feuds, naming his AEW feud with MJF as one of his favorites.

During a recent appearance on Radio X, he was asked to name his in-ring nemesis, with Jericho exploring the topic of his rivals, saying:

“It all depends on the story. The Shawn Michaels angle was great. Kenny Omega story in AEW was great. (Jon) Moxley in AEW. Dean Ambrose in WWE, of course the same guy.

“There’s so many of them. Like I said, I’m just thinking storylines, which equals who your nemesis and rival is, because if the storyline is going long, it means the ratings are good, you’re selling a lot of tickets… people are entertained, you’re making a lot of money from it.”

With the host noting that the audience, particularly children, can be ‘fickle’ in what they are following at any given time, Jericho would go on to discuss the live entertainment aspect of professional wrestling, saying:

“It’s the beauty of being a live entertainer. It goes if you’re wrestling, if it’s music, if you’re a stand up comedian.

“If the crowd is enjoying it, you lean into it. If the crowd does not like or is silent, or is not responding in the way you want, then you make changes and move to something else.”
