Hustle, Loyalty, Respect. According to Jericho these words were no long John Cena's reasons for living but a marketing slogan to push merchandise sales. To say this annoyed Cena would be an understatement. Cena had won the World Championship from Jericho the month before at Survivor Series after recovering from a herniated disc that sidelined him a few months. Jericho wanted revenge and regain the title he lost. Jericho at this time was plain and straight heel, in some respects under-appreciated on how well he worked the crowd back in this time frame.

The ending revolved Jericho locking in the Walls of Jericho for what felt like a lifetime to Cena, but Cena powers out and reverses it in to the STF for the quick tap out victory. This wouldn't be the last time Jericho would succumb to tapping out to Mr Five Knuckle Shuffle, a few months later on Raw he suffered the same fate.
