Vince McMahon told Chris Jericho that he was winning the universal title at WrestleMania

The creative direction of Vince McMahon is something that only he can explain. Recently, this issue has been controversial, but it is still a problem.

Chris Jericho enjoyed his quarrel with Kevin Owens until WrestleMania 33. However, Vince McMahon did not seem to agree. Curiously, this match was supposed to be a title match and would be the show's main event in an original version of WrestleMania.

As Chris Jericho explained to Busted Open Radio, McMahon's instructions were changed after he learned that Y2J vs. KO. would be for the WWE title. It did not work because McMahon changed the game to Goldberg against Brock Lesnar without telling him.

"What else can I do at WWE? If I go back tomorrow, I'll probably pick up the fight with Kevin Owens. To be honest with you, the quarrel I had with him in 2016 was probably the best thing in the series. Where were we at WrestleMania? Second on the map. It's the same thing that happened at WCW. "

" I can not go higher than where I am. Even though I was at the top, if you can not put Jericho and Owens in the semi-main event of WrestleMania, especially at one point, it has been designated as the main event. "

" eyes of the old man [Vince McMahon] a main event is a main event. From a commercial point of view. I will take the first on everything. The second is, for me, not a filling station, but it's a place where you get your 15 minutes. To be second, with this angle we had, when he was first named, Vince said, "You're going to win Kevin Owens' World title in WrestleMania's main event." Three days later, he was changing I did not tell Brock about Goldberg. "

You never know what might motivate a creative change in the WWE, but the responsibility usually goes to the president. good to see Y2J vs. KO as a WrestleMania title match, but that obviously did not happen.

If Jericho returns to WWE tomorrow, he would obviously like to start his quarrel with Kevin Owens. current contract with AEW, this will not be possible for a few years at least.
