In the most recent episode of All Elite Wrestling’s Road To Double Or Nothing YouTube Series, which you can check out below, it was revealed that The Grudge Match between Kenny Omega & Chris Jericho will headline AEW’s first event.
This Jericho vs. Omega Match will be a rematch from New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Wrestle Kingdom 12 Event in 2017. That match saw Omega retain his IWGP United States Heavyweight Title over Jericho in a No DQ Match.
This episode of AEW’s Road To Double Or Nothing featured Kenny Omega cutting a promo on Chris Jericho. Omega said that Jericho couldn’t beat him with The No DQ stipulation before and he won’t be able to beat him again this time.
“So, will I thank Chris Jericho if he beats me at Double Or Nothing? Isn’t that the big question? We all owe him a big thank you, don’t we? We wouldn’t be successful without you, Chris,” Omega joked. “Maybe I do owe ya a proper thanks, but I’ll tell you what, you’re not going to get it from me. Unless you beat me. If you can. Yeah, I’ll thank you, why not? That’s the problem Chris. You’re going to have to beat me first. You couldn’t get the job done before, what makes you think now, without a hardcore stipulation, without you being able to use weapons, without you being able to do whatever the hell you want, that you can actually beat me? I don’t know, but I am eagerly awaiting your response, and I’m eagerly awaiting to meet you again, at Double Or Nothing in the main event.”
