Overview
- Chris Jericho, in a GamesHub interview published Thursday, said he once pitched a tag-team story that would unite him with Shawn Michaels against the Wyatt Family.
- He described an angle where the Wyatts ambushed him, Michaels returned to confront him, and the chaos set up a possible SummerSlam tag match.
- He said the pitch died in a lunch meeting where Triple H was present and McMahon, focused on a tough steak he called “bad cow,” brushed it off with “What else you got?”
- In reality, Jericho’s 2014 run with the group led to Bray Wyatt facing him at SummerSlam and later beating him in a steel cage.
- No one else has confirmed the account, and outlets recapped it Thursday as Jericho’s example of how pleasing the boss — whether McMahon or AEW’s Tony Khan — decides what makes TV.
