Le Champion and Adam Cole recently sat down for the latest episode of Talk Is Jericho. During the conversation, Jericho took a moment to praise Cole and the efforts of other competitors during NXT's WarGames matches.
Jericho stated that though the WarGames matches of WCW from the 80s were available, he wanted to watch those that employed a newer mindset. The former AEW Champion revealed that watching the modern-day version of WarGames matches helped him generate ideas.
"When we had our Blood and Guts WarGames match, I watched your WarGames match just to try and get some ideas for a modern-day version. You know you can watch the ones from the 80s, which is one mindset. Then I watched your guy's version. Great job, great match," said Chris Jericho

Le Champion has wrestled with several up-and-coming stars in AEW, and a clash against Cole is sure to steal the show. Though Cole is not an up-and-coming wrestler, he's a newbie in AEW. A prospective feud with Jericho is sure to elevate his stock in Tony Khan's promotion to unforeseen levels.
