Backstage News on Why Chris Jericho Went After Shinsuke Nakamura on Twitter

March 23, 2016

As noted, Chris Jericho posted some in-character Tweets aimed at Shinsuke Nakamura today, and you can check them out below.

According to The Wrestling Observer, the Tweets were done as a way to plant the seeds for a future Nakamura vs Jericho match, as WWE officials are looking to schedule the bout for the company’s return to Japan in July.

As of now there is no word as to whether or not the Japan shows will air on the WWE Network like the company did with “Beast in the East”, but two shows are currently scheduled to take place at Sumo Hall in Tokyo in July.

Nakamura means nothing. He’s a minor league Jericho wannabe. https://t.co/zpuHBsBX3a
