Next up is Chris Jericho telling Renee Young backstage that he won’t meet AJ Styles’s challenge of a match at WrestleMania. He makes his way to the ring for a match against Zack Ryder (with a spot in the Intercontinental title match on the line) when Styles comes out and tells him that he won’t leave unless he gets what he wants.
Styles leads the crowd in chanting “Y2Jackass” just as Jericho tries locking in the Walls, leading to a distraction and Ryder rolling him up for the steal. Jericho avenges himself by hitting the Codebreaker on Ryder but his retribution’s cut short by Styles. The mind games pay off as a humiliated and furious Jericho agrees to the match at WrestleMania.
