Jericho is the ultimate narcissist and tried to give Zayn a physical gift of Jericho early in the match. Zayn tries to get to his swift pace but Jericho turns up the physicality. This match showed that Zayn has a mean streak in him too.

Jericho was most effective on the outside as he used the barricades and the apron to brutalize Zayn. Sami Zayn remained in control when the fight trickled back into the ring. When it was time to go to the outside, Zayn did it in style with his signature suicide dive.

The fight continued in the ring and Zayn looks as if he was firmly in control. Jericho battled back and started to become cocky and disrespectful. He continued to kick Sami while he was down but the Lionsault attempt swung the pendulum back in the favor of Zayn.

Instead of suplex city, Zayn introduced DDT city with one on the inside and another on the outside. Zayn looked to put it away but was catch into the Walls of Jericho. Although, it looked like Jericho would end it there, Zayn would come back with a Blue Thunder Bomb which always put you on the edge of your seat.

Somehow, Jericho kicked out and before Zayn could even retaliate, he was hit with the Code Breaker.
