Jericho took the mic and said that he's the reason why everyone's watching WWE. He said that he has a problem since he's not the hot topic in the WWE and his protege Wade Barrett is making more noise than he is. Jericho said he's always fought uphill and has done best as the underdog, but now he's at the top and everyone's trying to knock him down. He said he's the best and has a target on his back and was a victim of Bourne last Monday night, so he challenged Bourne to a rematch tonight. Jericho said that Bourne is a flash of the pan and he's going to fade away tonight at the hands of Chris Jericho. Evan Bourne's music hit and he made his way to the ring.
