True to form Monday night, Chris Jericho didn’t let an opportunity pass him by.

After Braun Strowman battered Seth Rollins and their match ended in a DQ, Jericho rushed to the ring, stalked Rollins and leveled him with a Codebreaker. Then he delivered the move again as Seth began to stand up.

It was a very simple, but very effective, way to continue their feud after Rollins beat Y2J at Roadblock, while also keeping in line with Jericho’s character. The wily veteran picked his spot and then proceeded to level Rollins when he was at his weakest.

You have to hope some wrestlers (and writers) in the back were taking notes, because it feels like stuff is so convoluted at times that it just defies logical storytelling.
