Chris Jericho, who will be making his return to WWE at the Greatest Royal Rumble this week, recently spoke with ESPN and below are some interview highlights.

On why his Greatest Royal Rumble match was changed:

“Well, why did it get changed in the first place? That’s WWE. Things change all the time. After 17 years, I definitely know that. It’s one of those things where I’m gonna be there either way and that might change again. If they decide they want me to face Funaki in a lingerie match, that’s fine too. That’s one thing with the experience level that I have for doing this for so long — you gotta be able to roll with the punches. Sometimes you get asked to do something, and sometimes you get asked not to do something, but either way it’s all cool. It doesn’t stress me out at all.”

On why he did not appear at WrestleMania 34:

“I’m not a full-time wrestler — I haven’t been since 2010,” Jericho said in a recent interview with ESPN. “It’s all based on what Fozzy’s doing and what else is going on in my career at the time. It just wasn’t working out this year. I’m not the type of guy who’s gonna fly in, do WrestleMania and leave. There has to be an angle. There has to be a buildup. There just wasn’t. Even though everybody thought it was a big conspiracy, I actually wasn’t even there. I wouldn’t be a surprise guest at WrestleMania unless it was something really, really huge, and at that point in time we were touring.”
