He calls Moxley stupid and says he even told Moxley’s mother that it was his own fault. Jericho says Moxley doesn’t even have what it takes to blink with both eyes and tells the crowd to go to hell for wanting to see a fight. Jericho says he does not go anywhere without his boys, and the rest of The Inner Circle joins him on the stage. Moxley says it’s not five against one anymore, because he was born and raised in Ohio. He says it is five against the entire arena, and he likes those odds.
Jericho calls Moxley stupid and says they brought in some extra help thanks to Santana and Ortiz. A group of guys walk to the stage and join them, to make it ten against Moxley. Jericho says he will beat the hell out of everyone and he will start with Moxley. Moxley drops Ortiz with a Paradigm Shift and charges at the other nine guys. Referees and others rush out to separate everyone and Moxley drops one of them with a Paradigm Shift. Moxley leaves through the crowd as he and Jericho stare each other down.
