Omega informs that he would have been happy with promoting the fight through videos and social media interaction, but once Jericho informed that he wanted to go to Japan and have some face-to-face interaction Omega knew that they had a chance to do something special.
Omega points out that the backstage reaction was incredible after the initial video of Jericho played during the NJPW show in Osaka. Nobody knew about it other than Don Callis and The Young Bucks, and everyone he spoke to backstage after the show were acting like fans who couldn’t believe what they watched on that video.
Jericho points out that they made the match “No DQ” because they wanted the freedom of having no rules. When he trapped Omega in the Walls of Jericho early on in the match the referee started counting for Jericho to break the hold. Jericho quickly turned around and screamed, “It’s No DQ Jackass!”
Omega points out that they had a general plan in mind for the match before going out, but they had to change a couple of spots at the last minute. They had to follow seven matches by the time their match started, and Will Ospreay did something in his match that was identical to something that he and Jericho had planned. Omega was frustrated, but he knew that he and Jericho could react on the fly and come up with something different.
