Rating: *** (3 stars)

This was a fine match between both men that ended with an awesome finish.

Right after the end of the match, Jericho’s theme hit, and then the lights went out. When they came back on, and the whole Inner Circle was in the ring behind Moxley. They attacked Moxley and beat him down, with Jericho whipping Moxley with the title belt and Hager hit a knee to Moxley’s crotch.

Jericho took a spike off his jacket as they held Moxley, and he jabbed Moxley right in the eye with the spike! The announcers made the point that Moxley has no friends backstage, so there is no one to help him. The referees ran out and tried to get him out of the ring, as Jericho casually put on his jacket and posed for the crowd as the doctor checked on Moxley, who was slightly bleeding. The doctor put eyedrops in, and Moxley sold it like was burning.
