Chris Jericho Reveals Who Came Up With Idea For His Entrance At AEW All In

Last month AEW All In aired live from Wembley Stadium and over 81,000 fans were in attendance for the event. Chris Jericho faced off against Will Ospreay, and his band Fozzy also performed their song “Judas” live at Wembley as Jericho made his way to the ring.

All In was a big night for Fozzy and Chris Jericho without a doubt, but the first ever AEW World Champion recently revealed on Talk Is Jericho that the live performance was actually a combination of ideas suggested by his friends.

“Bubba Dudley, months ago said, ‘You should have Fozzy play you to the ring.’ I was like, ‘Seriously? You think so?’ He was like, ‘You gotta do it’ so, Bubba came up with the idea of Fozzy singing, me singing myself to the ring with Fozzy and Ortiz came up with the idea of me doing the Freddie Mercury ay-ohs so, not a lot of creativity or originality from Chris Jericho on that ring entrance (he laughed). That just came from my friends…”

Chris Jericho didn’t end up picking up the win over Will Ospreay at All In. However, the match got a lot of people talking and Jericho made it clear that he’s happy with the way things worked out.

“Like I said, we (Jericho & Will Ospreay) knew we that we had 17 minutes. We went a little bit shorter. We could’ve done a few things differently to make it a little longer but longer and shorter doesn’t make a great match. A great match is just the atmosphere and the vibe and what the guys are doing so, I really loved kind of some of the counters and reversals that we had. Obviously, I went for a ‘Jericho Cutter’, like an Oscutter. People thought I was going for a lionsault, whatever it was gonna be… Really excited and happy with the whole match and you know, there’s a couple minor things that go wrong as they do in every match but just some of the counters and everyone of course was talking about when Ospreay went for the Storm Breaker and I reversed it into a Walls of Jericho and it’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, that’s so amazing.’ I’ve been doing that spot for years (he laughed). The frankensteiner off the top and just all the stuff that we contributed and combined in there and the multiple Codebreakers and him kicking out of the Judas Effect and then me kind of giving him the finger, daring him to pin me when he finally did and I mean, just a great match. It really was one of my favorites that I’ve had.”
