The ending of the Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte SummerSlam match, which went pretty much as planned, led to a verbal and somewhat physical confrontation between Charlotte and Chris Jericho last night.
According to multiple sources, Jericho came to the gorilla position just as the match ended, apparently to see if Banks was okay and to find out what exactly happened. He asked Michael Hayes what the finish was or if that was the finish. Hayes wouldn't answer him at which point Jericho said, "That's bullsh*t."
Jericho said that just as Charlotte came back from the ring. Charlotte thought he was talking about her match, and called Jericho a pussy according to one version, or "shut up" according to another, and to mind his own business. The two got face-to-face and started exchanging words, with one version saying they were shouting at each other the whole time.
Charlotte pushed Jericho with her fingers, and Jericho did what was described as the "Rousey-Tate" foreheed press. One version also had Jericho shoving Charlotte to the wall at one point.
They got tangled up against the wall and Charlotte told Jericho to punch her or kiss her. Paul "Triple HHH Helmsley" Levesque jumped in quickly and broke it up. It was heated enough that they went back at it at which time Vince McMahon broke it up. Jericho started yelling about Charlotte and McMahon told Jericho that it was all a work and to be professional.
Levesque reportedly told McMahon that Charlotte started it, and Jericho was just standing up for himself but there were more words exchanged.
Jericho saw Banks and got mad, which everyone noted was because he was concerned with Banks's health and safety. Banks reportedly assured him that she knew the way everything was coming.
