As for his 30th anniversary bout, Jericho tagged with Jake Hager against Luther and Serpentico. The match wasn’t all that competitive as Jericho bested the Japanese deathmatch legend and eventually hit a Judas Effect for the win.

After the bout, Jericho took the mic and was about to address the crowd when MJF came out. MJF told Jericho that he respects him and wants to be part of the celebration. Wardlow then came in with a gift, which was a wrestler dressed up as a clown with a present. Jericho opened it up and it was a framed picture of MJF, which Jericho broke over the head of the clown. Jericho then told MJF not to interrupt him ever again and that he hates clowns before saying he was joking and high fiving each other.
