He was cut off from the roster after his fourth consecutive loss in December 2020 to Ciryl Gane.
And Jericho is just as excited as the fans.
“It’s going to stand out as an attraction. There is a good chance that Jorge gets involved,” the WWE legend said.
“And when you watch Junior dos Santos, you’re not going to see him do a leapfrog or a dropkick. He’s going to look like a UFC champion in the ring. I’m not expecting him to go out there and be Lawrence Taylor at WrestleMania. I want him to go out there and beat the crap out of us.”
