I hope they remember you.

The scene opened in Chris Jericho’s locker room. Jericho was watching footage from last week’s Warfare on his TV. The footage showed Jericho attacking Aiden English in his locker room, dragging him to the parking lot, and finally throwing him off the top of the production truck. Jericho could be heard laughing, and the camera turned around to show his face.
Chris Jericho: I warned you Aiden, didn’t I? I said if you tried your mind-games with me, if you tried to out do me, that I would make you pay, and that’s just what I did. I do need to make one thing clear though... people have been tweeting me all week, saying I goaded Aiden English onto the top of the production truck so I could throw him to the ground below. I think I owe it to everyone to respond to those allegations. So to all of you who have accused me, I say this... shut up you idiots!
Jericho chuckled to himself then continued speaking.
Chris Jericho: I am a master manipulator, I won’t deny that. I have been wrestling for thirty years, I know every trick in the book. Hell, I wrote a new book, with my own tricks. I’ve got dozens of tricks up my sleeve, I’m more of a wizard than Harry Potter! And I wanted to make sure that Aiden English went out on a stretcher last week. That was my plan. The fact he fell from a great height was simply... circumstantial. You see, Aiden had snapped. I unleashed his dark passenger, and I could see in his eyes that he wanted to hurt me. But I couldn’t let that happen. I am the EBWF World Champion, this company needs me more than ever right now. So I retreated. It wasn’t cowardice, I was protecting EBWF’s most valuable asset... me. But Aiden followed me onto that production truck, and he was getting ready to throw me onto the tarmac below. So I fought fire with fire. There was only one way I could make sure I didn’t get thrown to the ground, and that was to throw Aiden. So that’s what I did. And if you want to know whether I would do it again... you’re damn right I would. Aiden got what he deserved, and we may never see him in EBWF again. That’s all I’ve got to say on the matter.
Jericho turned off his TV, then stood up and began pacing around his locker room.
Chris Jericho: Which brings us to tonight. Tonight, I go one on one with England’s greatest high flier, the self-proclaimed Bastard... Pac. The artist formerly known as Adrian Neville, the man that gravity forgot... but unfortunately everyone else forgot about him too. You see Adrian, no one cares about you any more. For a while, sure, you were a blue chipper. One of the hottest prospects in professional wrestling. But you lost your momentum, and it enraged you. That’s where this “Bastard” persona came from. It’s nothing more than the ramblings of a man who knows his best days are behind him, a guy who thinks if he shouts loud enough, he’ll stay relevant. Well I hate to break it to you, junior, but the only reason you’re relevant right now is because you’re going up against me... an 11 time EBWF World Champion. You get the honor of being the first superstar I beat in my record breaking 11th title reign, so hey at least you’ll be able to put that on your resume. Maybe people will remember you after all.
Jericho grinned cockily as the scene faded.
