At this stage in his career Jericho is in a position where he can have a show-stealing match at on any card. Much like the position that Michaels, Bret Hart and Kurt Angle used to be in.

Now that is pretty much confirmed that Jericho will be at Wrestlemania. Who do you think his Wrestlemania opponent should be? and who do you think it will be?

I reckon the Ziggler feud will end at Elimination Chamber and he'll move on to someone else. I am really hoping he faces off with Daniel Bryan. A wrestlemania match with Jericho and Bryan is a potential masterpiece if they get enough time.

I'll throw this one out there.

Jericho - The most over on the roster at the minute, he's getting a HELL of alot of cheers and playing the part well.

Orton - He wants to turn HEEL and needs someone to do it against.

Jericho VS Orton - These two could have a magical match together, great in the ring and they could create an amazing story.

Yep, Bryan/Jericho sounds great. Also a Del Rio/Jericho feud would be interesting

Jericho should tag team with Ziggler (you know become friends after the feud making Jericho also heel) and then job to Ryback in a 1 on 2 handicap squash match

Jericho should not be heel at all people are tired of him being heel. He so over as a face right now just keep him that way. As for his oppenent I definatly dont want to see him vs Ryback cuz that would be awfull. I would like to see Jericho vs Ziggler or Jericho vs Daniel Bryan

According to the incredibly accurate dirt sheets:

Heel Jericho vs Ryback.
awfull just awfull. Just thinking about their promos together make me want to cringe

Well, it would be a good match to put Ryback over.

It should be Big Show vs Ryback. Jericho would look like a twigg vs Ryback. Big Show vs Ryback would be the better way to go

Re: Jericho's Wrestlemania opponent?

Like I said in another thread, despite what the dirtsheets have said, I don't think that Jericho is turning heel. He only just turned babyface before he left in August, and at this stage in his career, I think even he realises that being a face is just better for him. It's better for him because of Fozzy and it's better because no matter what he did as a heel he was getting cheered, so the turn was due.

As for his opponent at WrestleMania; WWE are the kings of dragging out storylines, so I believe there's a good chance that Jericho will face Ziggler at WrestleMania. It's possible that they wrap things up at Elimination Chamber, but I can't see what else Jericho would do at 'Mania. He shouldn't face Ryback.

Maybe at Elimination Chamber, at the start of the night, Jericho beats Ziggler. Then, Ziggler cashes in on the WHC after the Chamber match. Then Jericho has a claim that he has beaten the World Heavyweight Champion and we get Jericho/Ziggler for the WHC at Mania, this time with Ziggler going over for good.

Backstage News On Jericho vs Ryback

http://www.lordsofpain.net/news/wwe..._Jericho_vs_Ryback_McGillicutty_s_Status.html

- As noted before, the early word on plans for Chris Jericho's return is that he will feud with Dolph Ziggler before turning heel and facing Ryback at WrestleMania 29. The idea would be to use Jericho to get Ryback back where he was. Jericho felt back in October that Hell In a Cell was the right time for Ryback to take the WWE Title.

Another BS reprt i dont think Jericho will face Ryback at WM. Jericho deserves a much better opponent then that.

why not? Jericho himself would welcome it and would gladly put Ryback over.

IMO he should face Bryan at Mania in a submission match, but I am suspecting a Kane/Bryan blow off match with Sheen & Rose involved, so I don't see that happening.

Be good if it was Taker. Despite the nervous breakdown's the IWC have been having, it won't be Rock/Cena in a singles match, it will be a triple threat with Punk, take that to the bank.

Which leaves Taker without an opponent considering people were building him up to face Punk. Now that Rock/Cena/Punk/Brock all have other plans for Mania, the only credible opponent left for Taker is Jericho. He probably would have more credibility to face Taker then Punk would tbh
