Chris Jericho and Dean Ambrose are two of the best workers in WWE, but their feud has been less about ability and more about, well, talk shows. The Highlight Reel was cancelled to make way for Ambrose's "Ambrose Asylum," but that change was soon reversed by Stephanie McMahon. That led to a huge brawl between the two men, with Jericho smashing Ambrose's potted plant, Mitch, over "The Lunatic Fringe's" head.

In retaliation, Ambrose destroyed Jericho's jacket, which raised the stakes between the two men. On Raw, Ambrose challenged Jericho to the first-ever Asylum match, where the two would battle to a pinfall or a submission in a steel cage lined with weapons.

The items available for use in the match include a barbed-wire 2x4, a mop, a straitjacket, and a potted plant - a clear reference to Jericho's Mitch-shattering assault. It looks like a safe bet that this plant - a descendant of Mitch in spirit, if not in genetics - will come into play. Expect Ambrose to smash it over Jericho's head en route to a win.
