After his match against Omega, Jericho attacked Tetsuya Naito at New Year Dash but never appeared on New Japan Pro Wrestling television again. He then appeared on WWE television for the 25th anniversary of Raw and competed in the 50-man Royal Rumble match at the Greatest Royal Rumble event. 

He has also been traveling with his band Fozzy and is planning his own cruise in October which will feature wrestlers from New Japan Pro Wrestling and Ring of Honor.
