During an appearance on Busted Open to promote his book yesterday, Chris Jericho confirmed that his one night only return to Smackdown was originally supposed to see him face AJ Styles but it turned into a three-way with Kevin Owens as there was a screw-up in the Jericho vs. Owens Battleground PPV match finish that led to Styles winning the United States title and they needed to get the belt back to Owens. Jericho's latest book came out yesterday. He had about 250 fans at his first book signing in NYC.
