Chris Jericho gets the big fight entrance by singing a live version of “Judas” with Fozzy (after a short Freddie Mercury tribute), but the crowd is solidly behind Will Ospreay. It doesn’t take long for them to cheer as he launches himself to the floor, then hits a springboard elbow back in the ring for a near fall.
The two men hit each other with simultaneous big boots before they trade strikes. A dropkick sends Ospreay to the floor, where Jericho hits a baseball slide kick. A German suplex on the apron drops Ospreay right on his neck, and Jericho flips the crowd the double bird.
Ospreay rallies quickly for a near fall. Jericho fires right back with one of his own thanks to a top rope hurricanrana. He tries a Lionsault too, but Ospreay sees it coming and greets him with knees. A Shooting Star Press with Jericho strung over the ropes gets Will another two count.
A massive Codebreaker after a shakier first one leads to a Jericho near fall. An Oscutter is a good answer but still only worth a two count. Ospreay wants Storm Breaker, but a series of reversals finds Ospreay in the Walls of Jericho. With Don Callis distracting referee Aubrey Edwards, Sammy Guevara smashes Ospreay with Jericho’s baseball bat (Floyd), but Ospreay manages to not submit.
A running Spanish Fly is answered by a Codebreaker and Jericho’s version of the Oscutter. The Ocho crawls to cover and still only gets two.
While both men are tied up, Jericho sneaks in a low blow and hits the Judas Effect. Ospreay pulls himself together to kick out before the three count, and Jericho is incredulous.
After connecting on his own take on the Judas Effect, Ospreay hits Storm Breaker, finally, only to see Jericho kick out at two. Determined, Ospreay uses Hidden Blade to set up a second Storm Breaker, and he finally gets the legend to stay down for three.
