2. As Good As Everyone Hoped It’d Be

Behold the image of a young lion watching two true masters of their craft.

Chris Jericho vs. Bryan Danielson was a total clinic, as expected. A few grumblers on social media are already querying why Danielson lost, but either one of these veterans winning would've been acceptable. Besides, they delivered a bout that occasionally turned back the clock for Jericho.

It's easy to forget just how good the old 'Lionheart' can be when he's motivated, and Jericho was damn motivated to show off in-ring vs. Bryan. Meanwhile, his JAS stable started to show more cracks as Garcia begins to move onto something else. That side story was a neat complement to the match.

Danielson is one of the best pro wrestlers on the planet, and that means he'll survive this loss. All Elite bosses might want to be careful they don't have BCC members suffer too many high-profile pay-per-view defeats in a row though. Just saying!
