Jericho told
Sirius XM's
Busted Openthat Vince McMahon wasn't blindsided by the appearance at the rally, as the pair had a private conversation beforehand: “A lot of that stuff is private but I did have a very amicable conversation with him," said Jericho.
"He knew what I was doing, it wasn’t a surprise. I didn’t just show up in Jacksonville and that was it. The bottom line is the Khan family isn’t messing around. They want to make a go at this and you know they have a lot of money and they have a lot of capital.”
It appears that Jericho has a pretty special relationship with Vince, as Chris told the story of them having a similar interaction before The Alpha debuted in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
