Why Chris Jericho Is Feuding With The Wyatt Family

Bray Wyatt and Chris Jericho previously wrestler each other in the main event of the May 2nd, 2013 WWE NXT episode, a match that Jericho won. The stipulation for the match was that if Jericho lost, he had to join The Wyatt Family. The match received a lot of praise and Jericho has mentioned it quite a few times in interviews.

Jericho said in one interview last year that Wyatt would be a main roster star in one year and a major star in two. Jericho has said in other interviews that he requested to work with Wyatt when he went to NXT. With Jericho reportedly having some creative input into his returns, it’s possible that he asked to work with Wyatt again.
