Chris Jericho: I Think The Golden Jets vs. FTR Would Be Amazing, I’d Love To Face Them

Chris Jericho names some AEW stars he is interested in potentially facing.

Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega, collectively known as The Golden Jets, have become one of AEW’s top tag teams, as they beat The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) at AEW Full Gear 2023. With the win, they earned a shot at the tag team titles.

Speaking with Joey Hayden of the Dallas Morning News, Jericho discussed his team with Kenny Omega, and he was asked whether there are any long-term stories he wants to tell. Hayden brought up Adam Copeland as someone Jericho could potentially work with.

“There’s no timeline on what I’m doing. So there’s really, probably no rush. I have a different opinion. I’ve wrestled Adam Copeland so many times and Christian so many times that I would rather not wrestle against those guys. I mean, obviously, we could have a great match. But I really enjoy working with kind of everybody that I haven’t worked with before. I think Swerve Strickland is amazing. I think Mark Briscoe is amazing, just off the top of my head of guys I’ve never stepped in the ring with. Both of those guys would be a lot of fun to have matches with. So I think right now, that’s kind of a cool place to be looking at,” Jericho said.

Jericho then noted that he and Omega have a lot of stuff going on, as they are feuding with Big Bill and Ricky Starks, and their rivalry with The Don Callis Family looms large. He also expressed his interest in facing FTR.

“But we’ve got a lot of stuff going on with the Golden Jets with Big Bill and Ricky Starks, and Will Hobbs and Takeshita. I’d love to have a match with FTR. That’d be great. I’ve never done a tag team match against them before. I think Jets versus FTR would be amazing. So there’s kind of a lot of matches in the chamber that you could have with Kenny and I before we decide to go to the next step,” Jericho said.

Jericho recently recalled meeting Paul McCartney. Check out his comments here.
