On 14th March 2016, Chris Jericho wrestled Neville amidst the then-ongoing Y2AJ storyline. During the match, Neville got seriously hurt when he attempted a baseball slide in the ring. Jericho, being the veteran, understood the seriousness of the moment. He told the referee Charles Robinson to count to three and end the match. However, the referee didn't get the situation and hence, didn' count to three because that was not a part of the script.

Jericho angrily confronted the referee and shouted "He's hurt" which is audible in the video. He shoved Charles to get disqualified on purpose to end the match as soon as possible. This led to a serious confrontation between these two. They buried the hatchet later. After a few days, Charles appeared on Y2J's podcast "Talk Is Jericho" to talk about the match.
