Sabu credits Chris Jericho with being the reason for his All Elite Wrestling appearance last month.
Sabu made his AEW debut last month during the run in to Double Or Nothing. He would come in as backup to Adam Cole and Roderick Strong against the Jericho Appreciation Society. He would end up being the special enforcer for the Unsanctioned match between Jericho and Cole at Double Or Nothing.
Speaking during a Golden Ring Collectibles signing, Sabu revealed that Chris Jericho initially contacted him for his AEW appearance.
“About a week before I did the first appearance, the Wednesday before the Wednesday I did the Dynamite appearance, Chris Jericho called me. We chatted a little bit and then he called me back and said, ‘Hey, I got an idea.’ I said, ‘Okay.’ The he called me on the phone and said, ‘I got an idea. Adam Cole, me, you know, boom, boom, boom.’ He goes, ‘We’ll bring you out as a surprise. Would you want to do it?’ I go, ‘Yeah,'”
