Chris Jericho attacking Kenny Omega at ALL IN sparked a lot of people wanting to see the two Winnipeg wrestlers go one-on-one again. Unfortunately, that's not happening on the cruise, with the dream main event being Jericho and the Bucks vs Cody, Kenny and Marty. But does Jericho want to wrestle Omega one-on-one again?

As you've said you don't particularly make plans you take things as they come, but next year would you want to do another Kenny Omega singles match? I know a lot of people are potentially looking forward to that happening.

Jericho: "Yeah, that was my original idea with New Japan. Then they wanted to do some stuff with Naito which was great, EVIL now which was cool. There are so many matches in New Japan alone, there's the Omega rematch, Naito rematch, Okada, Tanahashi. There's much stuff that I could do there... Ibushi, guys I've never worked before, Suzuki/Jericho would be great. So you're talking a lot of dream matches just from that capacity, if you're just talking about New Japan.

You talk about [Impact] and Bound For Glory, there's Austin Aries, there's Brian Cage, there's Johnny Impact. There's a lot of guys from that end of the spectrum that would be great to work with, Sami Callihan."

Jericho: "If you're looking at the Ring of Honor side of things, you know Cody and Jericho would be a great match for the NWA title, there's still WWE matches that would be good, there's a lot of stuff going on that could happen and would be great for me.

I've really kind of built myself into this position where I don't have to do anything I don't want to do, I don't have to go anywhere I don't want to go so I'm not rushing it, we'll see what happens. I've been working really hard this year, I think after the New Japan thing is done, maybe it's time to take some time and disappear for a while. We'll see, I don't know, I have no real plan or thought, I just think about stuff when it's presented to me and make a decision on that."

(Nobody tell Chris that Cody isn't NWA Champion anymore!)
