Chris Jericho Reveals Idea For IWGP IC Title Vs. WWE IC Title Match At SummerSlam He Pitched Vince McMahon

Former WWE Superstar Chris Jericho revealed in the latest episode of Talk is Jericho a very interesting idea that he pitched to Vince McMahon for a potential match at this year’s SummerSlam involving himself and a top WWE Superstar.

Jericho said that he called Vince and pitched a plan that would have seen at the time, for the first-time ever the WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins vs. the IWGP Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho. However, Vince didn’t go for the idea as Dolph Ziggler eventually won the belt from Rollins setting up an Extreme Rules rematch for SummerSlam instead.

Jericho even revealed that he had travel arrangements already squared away, that he wanted to show up in Greensboro for the go-home episode of RAW to set up the match with Rollins for SummerSlam. Regarding the potential IWGP IC Champ vs. WWE IC Champ match that Jericho pitched to Vince, Chris said:

“I placed a call to a certain head of a certain wrestling company, let’s just leave it at that,” Jericho revealed. “I said I’ve got something for you. It’s boffo box office. I said what do you think about first-time Intercontinental Champion vs Intercontinental Champion Jericho vs. [Seth] Rollins?”

He also went on to add that if WWE had agreed to do the match, that it would have ended with a run-in DQ finish.
