Roman Reigns vs Chris Jericho – United States Championship Match

Y2J nearly captured the one title that has eluded him his whole career

Reigns entered to a sea of boos as usual. Backstage before he enters, Kevin Owens tries to give Jericho motivational talk, and Jericho tells him bluntly that he didn’t want Owens, nor did he need him to go out and win the United States Championship.

The crowd was far more in favour of Y2J. Jericho got offense initially but Roman then shoved him into the turnbuckles, lifted him up and slammed him down for a two count. While Reigns looked to end it early with a superman punch but Jericho countered with a dropkick.

A lot of back and forth offense between the two, followed by dueling “Let’s go Roman! Y2J!” chants. Then came “Let’s go Roman! Roman Sucks” chants. Reigns tried to hit a spear but was met by Jericho’s kick. Jericho then went for the code breaker but was caught by Reigns who turned it into a power bomb. Jericho managed to get the Walls of Jericho onto Reigns. Owens came out and kicked Reigns, and Jericho then hit Reigns with a code breaker and got a near fall on Reigns. Jericho noticed Owens and then started quarreling with him, telling Owens to get out. Reigns hit one spear that missed and then hit another spear to pin Jericho and successfully retain.
