00:10Maybe I know what you hear.
00:12Take my the cruise.
00:13To pay for the rocket's turn from the least.
00:17Weeping is pain in the range of the blues.

00:36Yeah.
00:39I will wake you up for a chance to say,
00:41let me know what you're saying.
00:44I am a man who's on your own.
00:48The following contest is scheduled for once ball.
00:53Introducing first, from Winnipeg, Manitoba,
00:56Canada, weighing on 227 pounds, Chris Jericho.
01:04For the 13th time, Chris Jericho is walking down the ramp at WrestleMania.
01:17And tonight, WrestleMania is presented by Snickers.
01:21Not you when you're hungry, Snickers satisfies.
01:26You've got a very satisfying career for Chris Jericho.
01:29Absolutely, he headlined WrestleMania.
01:32He stole the show, WrestleMania 19, with a heartbreak kid.
01:35Shawn Michaels, a six-time world champion, nine-time Intercon Elf champion,
01:39the first undisputed world champion, Chris Jericho.
01:44Here's the opponent from Gainesville, Georgia, weighing at 218 pounds.
01:48The phenomenal AJ Styles.
01:58Since 1998, this man has competed all over the world.
02:03He's been a champion everywhere, but he's never competed at WrestleMania.

02:41When AJ Styles first came to WWE, he said he was intimidated, he was a bit overwhelmed,
02:46but throughout his career, he's always bet on himself, and he's bet on himself again
02:51because he's the one who won this match against Chris Jericho
02:55because he truly believes he can defeat Chris Jericho here at WrestleMania.
02:59Yeah, be careful what you ask for.
03:00Look, AJ Styles is a phenomenal one.
03:02He's had a great career everywhere else.
03:04This is the yardstick, though.
03:06This is WrestleMania, and that is who you're going to be registered against right there,
03:09Chris Jericho, the legend himself.
03:13And as we can set for Styles versus Jericho,
03:15I would like to thank actor Kelsey Grammer
03:19for lending his voice to that phenomenal open tonight of WrestleMania.
03:24So Styles and Jericho meeting here tonight, Jericho a six-time world champion.
03:34There goes AJ Styles' chance stride.
03:41That man, Jericho, crazy.
03:43They should.
03:44Yeah, but isn't going to drive him crazy enough to throw Jericho off his game here tonight.
03:50I think there's butterflies for Styles' John in his first time competing in front of a crowd this size.
03:55Are you kidding me?
03:56There has to be.
03:57You got a record WrestleMania crowd.
03:59You're at WrestleMania.
04:00You can't prepare for this.
04:02You think you can, but you can't.
04:07And a side�lock by Jericho.
04:10Then he's excited to win.
04:11The AJ Styles' chance.
04:13Y2J snattered in as well.
04:15There's a shoulder tackle by Jericho.
04:23Jericho a record nine-time Intercontinental Champion.
04:27Oh.
04:28Oh.
04:29It's just driving Jericho and now the clothesline over the top rope
04:35And it's perhaps regroup time for the veteran Jericho I
04:41Guess not quite the way Chris Jericho
04:46Expect for this match to start
04:59And here's AJ Styles Styles now on the chase Jericho back into the ring will bounce off the ropes
05:05Misses with the clothesline and Styles center-of-the-ring shoulder tackle of his own Chris Jericho does not like being bested
05:12Believes he's the best in the world and what he does nice deep arm drag by Jericho
05:17Chris Jericho has proved that many times that he is the best in the world at what he does
05:20You're dealing with someone in AJ Styles who has that same level of confidence. Oh, it's styles
05:25Try to one-up Jericho on every move an arm drag of his own
05:29Styles right to the shoulder mastermind of offensive innovation
05:34Never ceases to surprise you does AJ Styles
05:42Jericho with
05:45Draw the breath from Styles
05:47Master innovation offense sometimes she is hitting somebody really hard. It's very effective leapfrog
05:52Stiles went for another Jericho hung on this time and now Styles launched. He'll land on the apron
05:59And Jericho my gosh, hope that switchy position
06:09Styles John seems to be a step ahead in the early going
06:13It's early Michael
06:15Chris Jericho is just finding his face and style is gonna launch himself and he got caught by Jericho's
06:22I told you Jericho just suckered him in and a savvy veteran Chris Jericho just like that has taken over
06:30I told you Chris Jericho earlier one thing he's mad about is look Chris Jericho this is 13th
06:34WrestleMania he's gonna be here next year. He's entertaining these crowd. He's been world champion will the flash in the pan AJ Styles be here next year
06:42We don't know AJ understands that pressure. That's why he wanted this match
06:46He understands the daunting task ahead of him and watch Jericho right there with a drop kick
06:51Just like that just take it over and now a neckbreaker on a second rope
06:59Pretty innovative offense right there wouldn't you say guys?
07:02What was that master of innovation that you're talking about AJ Styles listen AJ has been very clear that he followed Jericho's career
07:09He followed Jericho's blueprint for success now. He's not following it very well Jericho top rope
07:14Flying elbow Styles down Jericho cover inside leg hooked in a kick out by Styles one-and-a-half
07:21A lot of similarities between these two
07:24You see the slaps by Jericho Jericho is yet to show Styles any respect since Styles burst on the scene at the Royal Rumble back in January
07:33We beat Jericho the next night on Raw in a one-on-one match
07:36Suplex Jericho
07:38It's like the new kid walks into class and you just find a reason not to like it
07:43And a very disrespectful cover
07:46Styles rolls the shoulder out
07:48It really bothers Chris John that the wwe fans well in his words turned on him it should
07:58You see michael jordan walking to an nba arena and get booed
08:01Chris Jericho is one of the greatest small times and he walks out here and gets booed he's mad about this
08:05He's mad about the fact that AJ Styles is the flavor of the month and everybody has bought into this phenomenal one
08:10He's great. I get that
08:12He's not a six-time world champion like Chris Jericho
08:15Maybe one day he will be he's not yet
08:18Okay, people want to cheer for AJ Styles cheer for chris jericho they have that right
08:22Sure they do and chris jericho has the right to be upset about it
08:26Jericho catching styles
08:30Wearing him down and chris jericho in control right now innovative offense there
08:34Come on
08:42Chris jericho begging styles to tap out styles back to his feet
08:51Fighting back to the right hands
08:54The pace right now would seem to favor jericho
08:57Absolutely, it's a measured pace and it's a thinking pace
09:01Obviously that's gonna favor it now styles trying to change up the pace
09:07Who has certainly been in the bigger matches oh man that running forearm catches jericho on the jaw
09:15Now to tip up by styles and styles starting to feel momentum
09:20That pendulum of momentum
09:22Styles side just like that jericho rolls out of the way styles one kick on the butt
09:30Get up jericho
09:35Jericho slowly back to his feet but able to duck away from the kick missed with the clothesline that time
09:40And now styles jericho rolls through
09:43And now chris jericho
09:45Styles on his belly for the walls for the walls of jericho trying to roll styles over and he does
09:51And jericho's got the walls in so this should move center of the ring
09:55Styles isn't gonna tap out
09:57First wrestlemania match aj styles maybe tap tap tapping right in the middle of the ring
10:02Jericho would love to ruin the wrestlemania debut of aj styles
10:08Styles trying to drag himself to the bottom rope and force a break and he does
10:13You see that's a misnomer by it's nothing jericho wants to ruin the debut of aj styles
10:17He just wants to win another big match as jericho has done his entire career
10:23Styles second rope oh oh down goes jericho cover styles hooks the leg shoulders down jericho and two kicks out
10:34Can't look past the fact either that these guys have had a series of matches and they've gotten to know each other styles very well
10:40Oh
10:50Styles he runs into the boot by jericho
10:54And there's jerry went for the running bulldog and styles able to step out of the way and chris goes steep first into the second turnbuckle
11:01Oh
11:07The back of the head by styles punches you don't see are the ones that hurt you
11:15Is aj thinking here
11:17I'm sure what styles is trying to do this this doesn't end well
11:36More that blatant disrespect from jericho
11:41Is he supposed to like his opponent
11:43Oh
11:46My goodness
11:48Second rope now to the top rope chris jericho he's got styles up there jericho
11:55First go styles jericho hits hard as well
12:08Watch this again
12:11AJ trying to find jericho face first but aj styles also
12:16Receiving the brunt of that impact
12:30Styles wrong through shoulders down as he got him there and a kick out of two almost had him now styles again
12:37Oh
12:39Chris is fighting back though. It's been an even match from the beginning
12:43Okay, okay
12:45Okay, got caught
12:45Jericho caught it
12:46Look at the walls down
12:48Oh, man
12:49What a move by Jericho and he sits in the walls
12:53And it is in deep and styles has got nowhere to go
12:56And you can't breathe when you're there all that wrestlemania hot
12:59It's wore out and now you're sitting there in the middle of the ring and you can't breathe
13:03And aj styles is already to have to drag himself and jericho to the bottom rope one time in this match to force a break
13:08Can he do it again?
13:09Can aj styles somehow dig down deep and make it to the bottom rope tried? He's almost there
13:15He's a fingertip away
13:17He's a fingertip away
13:19Not quite jericho drags him back
13:21And look at styles
13:22Styles reversing
13:23Wow
13:23Styles reversing and fighting out of the walls
13:28Now jericho with rights of his own
13:30Styles somehow surviving again
13:32And now looking for the cat crusher
13:33Cat crusher
13:34Styles own submission move
13:36Cat crusher's locked in
13:37Jericho in the middle
13:38That was jericho's turn on the half tap
13:42Great positioning for aj styles on jericho
13:45Jericho never saw it coming
13:47Styles reversed out of the the walls
13:51Jericho realizes the only way he's gonna get out of this is getting to the ropes
13:55Jericho's gonna tap he's gonna tap
13:57Jericho may tap right here
13:59To the cat crusher by styles
14:02As with he's so sweet for aj styles
14:05Jericho with the elbows to the back of the head
14:07And now jericho rolls into a penny position
14:09And forces the crusher to be broken
14:15Boy that strike fest from aj
14:20Jericho
14:22Uh-oh
14:23Styles clash time
14:28Didn't quite have enough though jericho able to fight out of it
14:31And styles dumped over the top rope and able to hang on
14:40Solid right hand by aj styles
14:43Come on
14:44AJ might be looking
14:46Looking for that phenomenal forearm
14:50Styles top rope
14:53Jericho able to dunk underneath though
14:54Oh my god
14:55Oh my god
14:56Codebreaker from jericho
14:59Jericho looking for the win over aj
15:01Cover to chris
15:03Sure chris knows where he's at
15:06Trying to get his wits about it finally does cover hook to the leg
15:09The fact that jericho didn't have his wits about it allowed styles enough time to be able to kick out
15:16After the codebreaker
15:17Oh
15:27Jericho's an absolute shock
15:29Good luck
15:34Styles kicked out of jericho's signature codebreaker
15:44Stay down
15:46Stay down
15:51It's hard right
15:52He is
15:53Jericho with a kick from the midsection driving styles to his knees
15:59And now it's chris
15:59Oh here we go
16:00He's going for the styles clash
16:02He's going to use aj styles
16:03He's going to use his own finish against him
16:04Yes
16:05How insulting is this
16:07That's the best in the world
16:08To beat someone with their own move
16:10Jericho looking for the styles clash
16:12AJ styles has nowhere to go
16:14Jericho's got to wrap the other leg around the arm of styles
16:17Styles fighting back though
16:19AJ styles fighting back
16:24No
16:25Styles fighting Jericho
16:27Man
16:27Man
16:28This could be it
16:29Styles for the win
16:30Kick out
16:38Watch this again
16:39Jericho face first
16:41Styles thought he had it
16:44It was close
16:46They had two significant moments in this matchup where both
16:49Jericho and AJ Styles thought they had the other man pinned
16:52Thought they secured a win
16:53Just like chris jericho styles was so spin he didn't get a great cover on chris jericho
16:58Yes
17:07Now jericho
17:10Styles
17:14AJ stacking him up jackknife cover
17:16Now styles has got jericho where he wants it for the styles
17:21He hits it
17:22Styles hit it
17:23Styles hit the styles clash
17:25Cover for the win
17:26Got it though
17:27Oh my god
17:30First styles kick out of the code breaker
17:32Then jericho
17:33Kicking out of the styles clash
17:35Chris jericho used every ounce of energy left in his body to kick out of that
17:51Watch this again
17:54How close was this guy
17:55Yeah
17:55But watch this
17:57Styles has got a great cover
17:58Shoulders of pin
17:59Chris jericho has to launch his whole body to get out of that cover
18:02This is the kind of match where you just say it's too close to call
18:07I mean neither man has really maintained a sustained advantage of this matchup
18:12back and forth back and forth counter for counter
18:23Oh and styles with a forearm and now jericho
18:26He's two men slugging it out of the grand stage of wrestlemania
18:32Styles first jericho's 13th jericho goes down
18:37Styles oh he ran right into the boots of chris
18:41Chris felt that running forearm once before and this time he had a counter for it
18:49Oh
18:50Oh man
18:53Styles able to counter
18:56The lion's salt by jericho
18:59knees to the midsection
19:05Let's get the feel that styles and jericho using everything in their offensive repertoire to try to put the other man away
19:15AJ measuring jericho he's going to come off the roll
19:17Oh man
19:18On the top of AJ Styles connecting Jericho at two
19:24Still not enough
19:33Incredible
19:33Jericho is just doing everything he can right now to stay in this match
19:43Off goes the pad
19:54AJ might be thinking about going for that phenomenal forearm again
19:58oh man
20:08AJ could be a cheerleader and try to take out chris jericho
20:11Jericho doesn't know where he is, just trying to make it back to his feet.
20:17AJ Styles measuring Chris Jericho.
20:19Styles looking to launch himself up onto that top rope.
20:22He does, and he does.
20:23Phenomenal forearm move into the toe breaker.
20:27Jericho.
20:30Cover.
20:32Jericho wins.
20:36Here is your winner, Chris Jericho.
20:41Let's go.
