Jim Ross: What kind of screwjob is this!

The crowd was booing like crazy as Crowe helped Styles out of the ring. Zayn was still in the ring a bloody mess.

Jerry Lawler: We all seen Sami Zayn out AJ Styles through that table but the referee didn't! He thinks it was the other way around and has awarded the win to AJ Styles!

He stopped to peek at them before shaking his head with delight as if to say "ohhh this is going to be fun." He entered the ring and Balor and O'Reilly cemented their place on the outside.

Christy Hemme: The following is a TLC4 match set for one fall introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Kyle O'Reilly and Finn Balor. Representing Vertex- KEVIN OWENS!

Jim Ross: Well Kevin Owens with a big chance today to make a name for himself and pick up a win over the EBWF Intercontinental Champion, Chris Jericho.

Jerry Lawler: TLC4 my god JR. This is going to be crazy.

The boos quickly turned to cheers as "Break The Walls Down" was heard over the PA System- Chris Jericho with the IC Title over his shoulder made his way to the ring. He looked at the accessories en route and had a similar reaction to Owens. He entered the ring and stared at Owens and Balor and O'Reilly on the outside.

Christy Hemme: His opponent- he is the EBWF Intercontinental Champion- Chris Jericho!

Jim Ross: Well Jericho looking to get one over on Vertex here tonight.

Jerry Lawler: If anyone can do it, it's Chris!

The bell rang and the match was underway. The crowd was buzzing with anticipation. The two men locked up and the early advantage went to Owens. He had Chris in a side headlock. Chris then pushed Kevin off into the ropes. On Owens rebound he dropped Jericho with a shoulder tackle. Jericho popped right back up and the two men locked up again, this time the crafty veteran Jericho went behind with a hammerlock. Owens used his momentum to run towards the ropes, and dump Jericho to the outside. O'Reilly and Balor were quickly over to Chris but Owens yelled for them to stop. He followed Chris to the floor. He picked Jericho up and went to whip him into the barricade but Jericho reversed the whip and sent Owens shoulder first into the barricade. The crowd cheered as Chris, picked up a ladder that was lying on the ground about 5 feet away from him.

Jim Ross: Bah Gawd King, so early in this match! Don't do it Chris!

Jerry Lawler: AH!!

Jim Ross: NOBODY HOME!

Owens was slowly to his feet he rolled Jericho into the ring and went for a cover the referee counted 1... 2... but Jericho got the shoulder up at 2 which brought cheers from the capacity crowd in Chicago. Owens looked upset and he went for the C4 on the outside. He yelled to Balor who out of his trunks had duct tape. Owens decided to duct tape the C4 to the turnbuckle.

Jim Ross: Some bad intentions here King.

Owens had a sick smirk on his face as he picked up as he picked Jericho up. He pushed a weak Jericho into the ropes and went for a pop up powerbomb but Jericho miraculously reversed it into a hurricanrana which sent Owens crashing into the turnbuckle and set off the explosion the crowd was on their feet in awe of what they had just seen. A louder "Holy Shit" chant broke from the fans.

Jim Ross: Good god in heaven- that killed him!

Jerry Lawler: Oh my god JR!

Jericho rolled into a cover and the referee counted 1... 2... but Owens was somehow able to kick out at two. The crowd started chanting "This Is Awesome." Jericho had a wry smile on his face as he couldn't believe Owens had kicked out. He rolled a weak Owens to the center of the ring and locked in the Walls of Jericho, after several seconds of resisting Owens was finally able to use his tremendous leg strength to throw Jericho off of him. Owens was quick to the outside throwing two smaller ladders into the ring while Jericho got back to his feet. Owens set one up in the corner, and Jericho was fully to his feet. The two men locked up and Owens overpowered Jericho by his head and slammed him face first into the ladder he had set up in the corner. Jericho was now standing back to the ladder in the corner. Owens grabbed the other small ladder and swung it like a baseball bat but Jericho was able to move out of the way which caused Owens to hit ladder on ladder and drop the smaller ladder out of pain in his hands. Jericho picked up the small light ladder and threw it to Owens who caught it instinctively, Jericho then quickly hit a spinning heel kick knocking the ladder right into the face of Owens, which brought another OHHH from the crowd. The ladder fell to the side and Owens was down. Jericho went for another cover and the referee counted 1... 2... THR... but Owens again kicked out at two.

Jim Ross: Two and a half!

Jerry Lawler: This is amazing JR!

Jericho was to his feet again. He put the bigger of the two ladders on top of a flat on his back, Owens. Jericho seemed to have the wheels turning. He ran to the ropes and went for a Lionsault but Owens did a bench press of the ladder and Jericho caught nothing but ladder as Owens moved his body on impact and Chris and the ladder came crashing to the mat together. Owens went for a cover and the referee counted... 1... 2... THRE... but Jericho kicked out just in time! The crowd was going absolutely nuts.

Jim Ross: What is it going to take here King?

Jerry Lawler: I have no idea!

Owens went back to the outside and entered some more C4 into the equation. He threw it into the ring, as Jericho stirred. Owens said loud enough for the ring mic to pick it up... "this shit is over" He looked down at the C4 and when Jericho was to his feet. He pushed him into the ropes and went for another pop up powerbomb, this time Jericho countered again hitting the code breaker and Owens fell right into the C4 which caused ANOTHER explosion! The crowd started another "holy shit" chant as Jericho managed to slump one arm over Owens as he had caught some of the explosion himself. The referee counted along with the fans... 1... 2... 3! The match was mercifully over.

Christy Hemme: The winner of this match, The EBWF Intercontinental Champion- Chris Jericho!

Jim Ross: Good god almighty! What a vile match that was King! Both of these men put their personal wellbeing on the line, and bah gawd was it fun to watch.

Jerry Lawler: I'm just happy they both made it out of here alive JR!

O'Reilly and Balor were in the ring and helped Owens to his feet as Jericho weakly celebrated his victory- his body had been through the ringer just as much as Owens, but he was handed his IC Title- and managed to make his way back up the ramp and through the curtain. Owens and Vertex were not too far behind as the fans tried to catch their breath before CEOD cut to a promo for the next match.

Christy Hemme: And his opponent, from Cleveland, Ohio... weighing in at 231 pounds... he is the reigning EBWF World Champion, The Miz!

Christy's announcement could barely be heard over the boos from the crowd. Miz posed with the title once more, taunting the fans in attendance. Miz then handed the championship to the referee, who held the title up once more before taking it out of the ring. The referee then locked the cage door, and called for the bell. The arena lights went dark as the cage was electrified. As the lights came back up, Punk wasted no time getting started, charging towards Miz and pummelling him with a series of right hands. Miz fought back with some punches of his own, then took Punk down with a snapmare driver. Miz stomped on Punk several times, before pulling him to his feet and throwing him into the steel cage.
