Coming out and using his usual cheap pop promo to get the crowd on side, Mick Foley then reveals that Chris Jericho's party may well be cut short. Before Mick can tell the new WWE United States Champ all about it, Kevin Owens muscles in and says Foley should hit the bricks because nothing can ruin his good mood tonight.

Sensing things might be about to get out of hand, Jericho invites everyone to calm down. Saying that he and Mick go back a long way, he says his old friend has should be happy that his favourite Canadian has added another title to a glowing portfolio.

Whilst Foley admits he is pleased for Jericho, he also knows that being a fighting champion is something Roman Reigns was. Therefore, the beaten champ is entitled to a rematch and it will happen on Monday Night Raw.

Better yet, it'll be a straight one-on-one encounter, meaning Y2J will feasibly have to defeat Reigns all on his own this time. Incredulous, JeriKO can use this as foil in promos to lambast Foley's management.
