Natalya sends a three-word message to Chris Jericho
On November 12, Chris Jericho wrestled his first match for the Japanese promotion DDT Pro Wrestling at The Ultimate Party 2023 event. The Ocho faced Konosuke Takeshita, who is a member of the Don Callis Family, in a singles match at the event and defeated him by submission.
After his victory over the Alpha, Jericho, who turned 53 three days ago, shared his experience of fighting for the promotion on Instagram. Le Champion called it his best match of 2023 and thanked Takeshita and DDT Pro Wrestling for the "amazing experience."
"My first match of my 53rd year was also my best of 2023. Thanks to @realtakesoup and @ddt_prowrestling for an amazing experience! #Ryoguku was packed and the crowd was electric! And the match was hard hitting AF & super dramatic. One of my favorite trips to Japan EVER…and I’ve been coming here since 1991! You can watch this instant classic NOW at the link in my bio… DONCHA DARE MISS IT! #DDTUP," Chris Jericho wrote.
WWE Superstar Natalya responded to the former AEW World Champion's post with a three-word message.
"Japan Loves You.😎 "
While the 53-year-old seemingly enjoyed his latest outing in Japan, many AEW fans objected to the outcome and said Konosuke's clean loss to the veteran diminishes his credibility.
