Chris Jericho Calls Undertaker and Kane vs DX “The Worst Match He Ever Saw”
Follow Us
Chris Jericho recently celebrated 30 Years in the industry. Although he spent most of his professional career in WWE, the Demo God celebrated his three decades in the rival company AEW. Despite having wrestled with the industry’s biggest names, Jericho does not hold back when it comes to criticism.
In the recent edition of Busted Open Podcast, Jericho talked about bookings and the worst WWE match he ever saw. The topic came up when the host asked him about the same. Shockingly, his worst match had the biggest names in professional wrestling history.
“I never wanted to just… okay, well, the worst match I ever saw – and here’s your clickbait – was Saudi Arabia, Triple H and Shawn Michaels vs. Kane and Undertaker. That was such a stupid idea in the booking. It should never have happened.”

He thinks the fans want something new from the same old “legends.” Jericho also cited this as a reason he never wrestled with guys his age.
“I didn’t want to work with Kane, I didn’t want to work with Hunter, I didn’t want to work with Shawn. I want to work with guys that were younger than me because it put you in a different position.”

Chris further stated he won’t ever do that in AEW either.
“The same thing in AEW. There will never be a Chris Jericho vs. Matt Hardy match. Never! Never, never, never, because we’ve seen that. You put it on, suddenly, it’s just two guys that worked 20 years ago in WWE. That doesn’t make any sense.”
