Chris Jericho was recently a guest on Busted Open Radio. He spoke on a wide variety of topics about his recent run with WWE. We have already covered Jericho’s thoughts on how he would improve the current WWE Cruiserweight division.

Jericho revealed during the interview that the original plan for Wrestlemania 33 was for him to win the WWE Universal Championship from Kevin Owens. He was supposed to go on to lose the title to Brock Lesnar at Payback until plans changed.

Here is what he said:

“It wasn’t supposed to be that way. I was supposed to finish up after WrestleMania, that Monday afterward, and about – I don’t know, December maybe, Vince [McMahon] called me in and he had a big idea – I can probably say this now. The original idea, cause things change all the time, was for me and Kevin Owens to work at WrestleMania, for me to win the title, and then to lose it to Brock in Sacramento at the next pay-per-view (PPV), which was April 30th”

Jericho says that Vince McMahon eventually changed his mind and had Goldberg win the title instead:

“And so when you get presented with that idea it’s like ‘Sure, of course, I’ll stay for that.’ Then as things go, the Goldberg factor started and Vince changed his mind. At that point, I was already locked in for an extra month”
