WWE Legend & IWGP Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho recently spoke about The Survivor Series Match between Brock Lesnar & Daniel Bryan and gave his thoughts on why Vince McMahon changed the match. When his co-host suggested that Vince didn’t want Styles to lose to Lesnar two years in a row, Jericho commented that “I don’t think Vince cares that much about that sort of stuff” before adding:
“I think Vince wanted a buzz going into Survivor Series because he lost his main event which was Ronda vs. Becky. And you know, stuff happens. If you see the punch that she took, oh my gosh, it didn’t look like a potato it looked like a legitimate delivered punch to the face but whatever, we’ll hold off on judgment on that. I think once he lost his main event because I do think Survivor Series would have main evented with Rousey and Becky, he needed a buzz. I want buzz-worthy and I will change the title because to him, AJ and Bryan are the same – they’re both great workers, they’re both the same size and they are both going to get eaten alive by Brock depending on what mood Brock is in if he even wants to have a match or whatever. Because sometimes Brock will just show up and say ‘yeah we’ll just talk about it in the ring’ and that’s what happened with Ambrose at WrestleMania – they didn’t even go over anything. So I think that’s why they did it. “
