I don't foresee any sort of WrestleMania swerve like with Jericho beating AJ Styles kinda-sorta-semi clean. Ambrose really needs to win this feud, which would be his second won-feud of the year after beating Kevin Owens at the Royal Rumble (still the best main-roster match of 2016 to this point). Jericho, of course, is the ideal person to drop a feud cleanly.

As for the Asylum Match, which looks to be a tamer take on CZW's Cage of Death (Cage of Mild Discomfort?), you can pretty much expect a blend of comedy spots and as-violent-as-PG-can-be spots in order to affirm Ambrose's status as an upper-card roughneck, and one with affable personality. Provided they don't get too cute, it's a match that should play to Ambrose's strengths.
