[2004-08-09-WWE-RAW] Chris Jericho vs Edge

[ohtani's jacket]

This was a solid match heading into the Triple Threat match at SummerSlam. It was babyface vs babyface, but fairly heated as there had been an altercation between Edge and Jericho on some kind of Piper's Pit segment that Jericho was doing at the time. Jericho had become an excellent WWE worker by this point, but he shows far more personality as a heel than a face. There was a chance that he might turn during this feud but it was mostly a tease at this stage. The match itself was a step down from the Edge vs Orton bouts, but it served its purpose to have the two faces beat the crap out of each other prior to the Triple Threat match and there was a twist at the end where Jericho refused to help Edge when Batista attacked. I don't know who the road agents were at the time, but somebody loved the foot on the ropes finish in the summer of '04
