RVD mentioned that Jericho’s presence played a role in his struggle to adapt to the backstage politics of WWE but clarified that there was no real animosity between them. He said,

“I don’t think there was any real heat, you know… Sometimes like, struggle at that time of me trying to get used to the politics and having him be a factor where he was already there and kinda represented the opposing side.”

RVD shared that when he publicly mentioned Jericho making it difficult for him to adjust in an interview, Jericho himself was surprised upon hearing it for the first time. He said,
