In Ring Segment:
Chris Jericho says he is not sorry about what he said on Raw. He bashes Punk and says Punk wishes he could direct his pipebombs to his family. He calls Punk a pretender and will never be Best in the World. He says he will win at WrestleMania, fix himself a strong drink, and celebrate. He chants CM Drunk.
Chris Jericho def. Sheamus by Countout:
What I Liked:
Great action inside the ring between these two. Sheamus took the offensive control early, which was perfect to showcase his talents, as well as Jericho being able to come back and take control during the middle of the match. The timing was solid, as well as having Jericho lock in the Walls of Jericho. When he is able to mix in new moves but still go back to what brought him to Stardom, it is flawless. Sheamus' Battering Ram is great to watch, as well as when his Brogue Kick connects like it did on Jericho. Bryan NEEDED to interfere here, it was perfect. Cost Sheamus a match, piss him off, and thus gaining the upper hand. I want to see Bryan control and gain the advantage in the next two weeks.
What I Disliked:
No Punk. I understand because I feel like Punk will explode on Raw this week. They are saving it for Monday, fine by me. I wonder if they are focusing too much time on AJ. I do not want it to center around her anymore. Other than that, the end match was great, enjoyable, and progressed Sheamus vs. Bryan
