Chris Jericho vs. Juventud Guerrera (The 5 Labours of Jericho: Chapter 3)

Jericho must hit a top rope move to win this match. MJF on commentary. The last time Jericho and Guerrera met in the ring was 1999 (WCW). Guerrera goes right at Jericho with chops in the corner. Guerrera up top, hits a hurricanrana, and then...another one! Jericho out to the floor, Guerrera looked for maybe another, but just ends up kind of doing a seated senton down on Jericho. Back in the ring, Guerrera goes to the top, missile dropkick, cover, two.

Jericho back up and knocks Guerrera out to the floor. Jericho tosses him into the timekeeper's table, then back in the ring. Jericho with a top rope crossbody, cover, two. Juvi gets back into the match and work over Jericho, stretching him out a bit. Guerrera charges, but eats a couple shoulder tackles. Jericho pops Guerrera, double ax handle off the top rope, cover, two-count. Jericho with a backbreaker, goes for a cover, but the ref lets him know he can't do that, as per the match rules. Jericho then tears away at Guerrera's mask.

Both guys end up on the top rope, Jericho blocks a hurricanrana and goes into the wall of Jericho, apparently this counts as a top rope move? Doesn't matter as Guerrera gets to the rope for the break. Spinning neckbreaker by Juvi, thrust kick, pin, two. Juvi driver hits, cover, close three. MJF is getting so mad on commentary at the Aubrey Edward's counting abilities. Juvi runs right into judas effect, Jericho makes his way up to the top rope, another judas effect! That will get the win.

- Post-match, Wardlow attacks Jericho from behind. He then picks up Juvi and gives him an F-10. He then throws a knee to Jericho's face, putting him down. MJF on the mic, "I'm so sorry guys, did we ruin that moment for you?" Crowd yells "you suck!" He announces Wardlow is opponent number four for Jericho. He will be accompanied to the ring to make sure the match is called fair and square — MJF himself!

Chavo says they didn't say thank you for last week's limo. Chavo asks them to join up, yes or no? Fenix says they don't work for Andrade, or anyone. Penta says...no.

- Tony Schiavone talks with The Dark Order. He brings up no more tag titles for them. Hangman Page shows up to grab his drink and tries to leave. They say it's been a whole week and couldn't get a hold of him. Page says he cost them the tag titles and everyone says it's okay! Page says he has to take care of his baggage on his own. Dark Order says they can help, but he passes. Page says for now, they are done, and heads out. Uno tells the group if that's what Page wants, let's give him some space.

He's able to tag in Parker, he keeps Kingston down until Garcia comes in and stomps away.

Out on the floor, Moxley and Garcia mix it up. 2.0 get thrown out to the floor. Sting stares them down. Lee kind of freaks out that it's Sting! Allin clears him out with a huge suicide dive.

Velvet tells Britt, "Red is not your color" and she wants a piece of D.M.D. Velvet with a little shove. Baker brings up beating Velvet in three minutes, but if she wants to challenge Baker, sounds good to her.
