Chris Jericho's Highlight Reel
Special Guests: Wade Barrett & The Miz
Chris Jericho comes out to a huge reaction, and tells the production "monkeys" to roll footage of "The Marine 3: Homefront". Jericho introduces the Miz, who makes his way down to the ring. The Miz makes fun of Jericho's "set" and Y2J says there were budget cuts and lost the furniture and Jeri-Tron. They talk about the "hit success" of the new WWE Studios movie, but Wade Barrett cuts them off. He makes them roll a clip of "Dead Man Down" and Miz makes fun of his English accent.
Chris Jericho makes fun of both of them, and Wade Barrett says he's going to knock him out. Off comes the jacket, and Jericho reminds him that he's the reason Barrett won NXT, and he's the reason he's even in the WWE. Jericho puts over Wade Barrett's two Intercontinental championship wins, but brings up the fact that he's got nine of them.
Brad Maddox comes out and tells them to knock off all the fighting. He introduces himself as a "high ranking official of Monday Night Raw" and tells them all they just need to chill out. He books some sort of match with a stipulation, but Cole is too busy being loud and calling this segment terrible for me to hear. Ridiculously awkward segment – I love it.
(9) Chris Jericho vs. The Miz
I think the stipulation is that the winner of this match gets Wade Barrett next week. Barrett is on commentary and their bickering and putting over of his movie has distracted me from the beginning of this match. Jericho tries for the Lionsault but eats the knees of the Miz, who tries for the Figure Four. Jericho escapes the hold and tries for the Walls, but Miz rolls him up into a pin attempt; kick out at two.
Chris Jericho locks in the Walls as Barrett talks about not caring who he faces next week – Miz gets to the ropes and breaks the hold. The two fight around ringside and MIz gets sent flying into Wade Barrett, taking the champion out. Barrett gets involved and the referee cals for the bell.
Results: No Contest
After the match, Barrett tries to pick apart the Miz, but Jericho helps him even the odds. Miz hits a Skull Crushing FInale, which sends Barrett into the Codebreaker. The two faces stand over the fallen champion in the ring – we have no challenger for Barrett next week.
