7 Possible Outside Entrants in G1 Climax 28, Ranked From Least Likely to Most

#6: Chris Jericho

Jericho's the only wrestler to hold both the WWE & IWGP Intercontinental Championships

The new IWGP Intercontinental Champion seems to be in NJPW for a couple of big matches at least; the promotion wouldn’t have given him their second most prestigious title if he wasn’t. However, there's little to no chance Jericho will be competing in the G1.

The tournament is notorious for its grueling schedule and list of injuries. Jericho's match with Kenny Omega at Wrestle Kingdom 12 showed he can still deliver, but the G1 would require him to wrestle nine more of those matches in a month’s span. Coupled with his various other commitments - most notably his upcoming cruise and age (47), this is a no-go.

Chance: 15%
