Chris Jericho returned to NJPW in emphatic fashion during the King of Pro Wrestling show on Monday (October 8).
The current IWGP Champion attacked EVIL before the LIJ member’s scheduled match with Zack Sabre Jr, hitting him with a Codebreaker and then with the title belt.

The animosity between the two started at June’s Dominion show, when Jericho mercilessly attacked Tetsuya Naito to win the IC title. EVIL was one of the men to come to Naito’s aid at the match, something Jericho clearly hasn’t forgotten.
This is not the only time Jericho has made a surprise appearance in the past weeks, with the former WWE Champion making a shock appearance at ALL IN, attacking Kenny Omega following his match with Pentagon Jr.
So, will EVIL vs Jericho be the next IC title feud? Or is this all part of a wider storyline that has not yet come to light?
