WWE Intercontinental Championship: Chris Jericho © vs. Rey Mysterio
I'd like to point out that about two months ago Chris Jericho cut a promo stating he would "never appear on Raw ever again." So who's the hypocrite now Chris? Jericho says ever since he was drafted to Smackdown the show has gone into the toilet. He says the show has gone into a tailspin the likes of which it will never recover. Well I can't argue with the man there. He says someday we'll recognize what he meant to this show, and how immense his talent really is. Someday Rey Mysterio will realize what he says is the truth. That his mask will be his downfall and only Chris Jericho can be his savior and set him free. Mysterio takes Jericho down with a double leg takedown, and then hits a reverse hurracanrana off the second rope. A clothesline sends Jericho over the top to the floor, and then Rey catches him with a kick on the way in. Rey drops a leg off the top rope as Jericho comes in and gets a two count. Jericho comes back to smack Rey off the ringpost, but gets kicked to the floor again. Rey dives off the apron into a hurracanrana, but gets thrown into the announce table as we head to break. I should note that they showed a graphic stating the WWE Title match was just 35 minutes away. I don't like the sound of that. You can feel the bait and switch coming a mile away.

Back from break as Rey is elbowing out of a chinlock from Jericho. Mysterio hits an enzaguri sending Jericho into position for the 619. Rey goes for it, but Jericho is up and hits a spinning firemans carry backbreaker for a two count. Jericho goes for the mask, but Rey is able to bail. Back inside Jericho goes for the mask again, but gets kicked away by Rey. Rey flips out of a sunset flip attempt, and delivers a dropkick to the face of Jericho. Hurracanrana connects for Rey, and that is followed by a springboard seated senton for two. Jericho goes for a bulldog, but gets shoved into the ringpost. Rey follows with a dropkick sending Jericho to the floor. Suicide dive connects by Rey, and both men are down on the floor. Rey fires Jericho back inside, and heads to the top rope. Jericho catches him up there, but Rey fights him off and hits a sunset flip off the top for two. Jericho sits back on a rana attempt from Rey for two, and goes for the Walls. Rey pushes out into a 619 attempt which is blocked by Jericho putting Rey in the ropes. Jericho decides to go for the 619 himself, but Rey hits him with a springboard moonsault for a two count. Rey sends Jericho into the ropes again for the 619, and this time it connects. Jericho goes for the west coast pop, but Jericho catches him and grabs for the mask. That distraction allows Jericho to hit the codebreaker to retain at 9:39. Awesome start to the action tonight.
Winner: STILL WWE Intercontinental Champion-Chris Jericho (Pinfall-Codebreaker ***1/4)
