This tag team match on Smackdown was an unusual affair, with Kane teaming up with the Intercontinental Champion Jericho facing off against the team of Regal and Big Show. A pre-brass knuckles Regal, opted to using a fire extinguisher to blow away Jericho's dreams of winning this match. As this was the Smackdown before Wrestlemania, Raven just so happened to turn up to interfere in the match to bring said fire extinguisher to the ring, opting to distract Kane and Big Show.

With the referee looking the other way, Regal bashed Jericho's skull in before preceding to use the Regal Stretch to force a tap out. Regal rarely won matches with the stretch back in the day, so it was a nice surprise to see this in the win column for him. At Wrestlemania X7 mere days later, Jericho successfully defended his Intercontinental Championship against Regal with the Lionsault despite being put into that very same stretch during the match he tapped out to. That's some testicular fortitude right there.
