Old School WWF Legend Chris Jericho makes his way out first at NJPW Dominion and he’s sporting a new look. Below are some photos of his new look:
IWGP Intercontinental Champion Tetsuya Naito makes his way out next and Jericho attacks him before the match starts. A brawl begins between them at ringside and Jericho hits Naito in the head with a guard rail. Jericho then powerbombs Naito through a table!

The action returns into the ring and Naito hits a top rope dropkick to the back of Jericho’s head! Naito now tries to hit the top rope hurricanrana on Jericho, but Jericho blocks it, comes down while holding Naito’s legs and locks in the Walls of Jericho!
Naito reverses, but Jericho slaps and sends him face-first into the turnbuckle, but Naito counters and puts down Jericho.
Jericho locks in the Walls of Jericho once again and after almost fainting and losing the match, Naito reaches the bottom rope and saves himself.
Naito now nails a German Suplex on Jericho. Naito hits a tight slap and then nails his finisher and goes for the pin, but Jericho grabs the bottom rope! Naito is bleeding now.
Jericho nails a Code Breaker from out of nowhere and goes for the pin, but he can’t put Naito away!
Jericho goes for the Lionsault, but Naito counters and looks to finish Jericho, but Jericho pushes away the referee and low blows Naito and then nails a Code Breaker to get the win!
