Cody pitched him on being under the Burnard the Business Bear costume and attacking Kota Ibushi, but Jericho said he wasn’t really interested. Cody called him again, they kicked around ideas, and Jericho came up with attacking Kenny Omega and keeping their angle alive from the Tokyo Dome and having it be a late promotional opportunity for his cruise. They were able to work the logistics out with Jericho’s Fozzy concert in Kansas and get it pushed to later in the night. Pentagon Jr.’s extra costume was silver instead of gold, so they had to find a Home Depot and get gold spray paint at the last minute.

I don't think that was the plan, but it sure looks that way. Of course, it wasn't the plan with Bryan either and he ended up headlining Wrestlemania 30, so this could all end up being extremely beneficial to Ms. Lynch!

Thanks to @FinnBalor telling on me @TGIFridays fired me for "borrowing" a vest. It's a bummer but on the bright side I got my severance package in the mail yesterday. I'm getting boneless wings now who's going with me? pic.twitter.com/vvKP2u4mzM
