Roman Reigns vs. Chris Jericho – United States Championship – If Roman Reigns gets counted out or DQ’d, he loses the title

Roman Reigns once again retained his United States Championship over Chris Jericho

Jericho started off the offence but it didn’t take long before things turned in the favour of the champion. At one point, Jericho got Reigns outside the ring damaged, and almost got counted out, but managed to make it in by 9. Jericho had a period of domination, but that unsurprisingly didn’t last too long. Reigns tried to get the superman punch but Jericho avoided it. Reigns blocked a lionsault and Jericho blocked a spear. Reigns then blocked a code breaker, and a series of roll-up attempts led to Jericho putting the Walls Of Jericho onto Reigns.

Reigns managed to escape, and when Jericho attempted to jump from the top turnbuckle, Reigns hit a superman punch. A spear attempt by Reigns led to him hitting the post. Jericho untied the turnbuckle which momentarily tied the turnbuckles back which led to Jericho taking the US title and doing an Eddie Guerrero by throwing the title to Reigns while falling, which led to the referee putting the title away and Jericho hitting the code breaker. However, Reigns kicked out.

After a minute, Jericho hit the turnbuckle, and when he turned around, Reigns managed to hit the spear to retain the title.

Result: Roman Reigns defeated Chris Jericho to retain the United States Championship
