On his very first night back in Japan, Jericho once again set his sights on Los Ingobernables de Japon leader Tetsuya Naito, in another brutal blindside attack.
The heart of the matter
Following Tetsuya Naito and Bushi’s win over Tiger Mask IV and Henare earlier today at the Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Naito’s forthcoming Intercontinental Championship challenger Chris Jericho once again made his presence felt in Japan when the former nine-time WWE Intercontinental Champion appeared on the big screen at the Korakuen in order to send another intimidating warning to the leader of Los Ingobernables de Japon.
During his promo, Jericho claimed that at Dominion 6.9 he is going to make sure that he takes away the IWGP Intercontinental Championship from Naito and add it to his collection and become a 10-time IC Champion in overall.
In addition, Y2J also pointed out that 'The Ungovernable' Naito is going to be the most famous superstar in the world just by stepping into the ring with Jericho and will be known as the man that Chris Jericho made famous.
