He said [as transcribed by Wrestling-Edge]:

“WWE had an agreement with Chris Jericho to come in and [work] the Royal Rumble. They made the agreement ages ago. Roman Reigns had a private conversation with Moxley[Jon Moxley] and then had a conversation with Vince[Vince McMahon] and WWE wanted to change Jericho for Moxley.”

Chris Jericho talks about a bizarre incident

Speaking ahead of an appearance on truTV’s Fast Foodies, Chris Jericho reflected on the allure of fast food while on the road. In conversation with Connor Casey for Comic Book, Jericho recalled a bizarre incident which saw him find a brain while eating at KFC in Japan:

“I remember one time Dr. Luther from AEW and I were in Japan, probably about ’95, and we went to KFC. …And Luther, his name is Lenny, showed me his wing and he goes, “Does this look right?” And in the back of the wing, there was a brain. It was kind of a mutated chicken or something that had a brain in its wing. And we were like, “I don’t think that’s part of the meal.”

So we took it back up to the front and showed them. And in classic Japanese tradition, all five of the workers came and they debated it, just trying to figure out what was going on. And they decided that they would give us a new piece of chicken. But the point was, it was like, I don’t think I really want chicken anymore.”
