He then says they interfered in his business, but they were even. Now, they brought along Adam Copeland. He praises Cope and says he came up the hard way, but he’s always been a front runner. In the NEW World, survival comes at a cost and they need to evolve into something new.

Lexi Nair is with Cope (and yeah, that’s what they are gonna call him, but is as good as any nickname), and he says if you attack his friends, he has a problem. He says that Mox said no one wants to be a world champion. Well, he’s ready to be a twelve time champion. Chris Jericho shows up and says he has a match with Cope and he’s a world champion again. Cope says he kinda likes him and it’s been fifteen years since they faced each other. Jericho says he doesn’t remember it so it must have meant more to him than it did to Jericho.
Cope says he must have been wrong because all he remembers about Jericho is that he’s an a$$h0le.
