Jericho calls everyone in the ring "a royal flush of losers" and warns Jericho to stay home and out of their business before he either throws a fireball in his face or pisses in his tea again. Regal says that ever since he first met Jericho in 1997, he has had to deal with his annoying voice and that the only thing that could make him sicker is screams from a burning orphanage. He admits Jericho may have told some truths about his past, but for every single time that he was on a show with him and was not wrestling him, he would go to his locker room, open his bag, take his toothbrush and stick it up his arse. When Daniel Garcia calls Regal out for it, Regal tells him he did it to his toothbrush last week. Jericho then says if Regal wants a fight, he will get it. Moxley interrupts him, saying he will not be sucked into Jericho's sports entertainment vortex.
