On the Talk Is Jericho podcast, WWE Superstar Chris Jericho commented on why he thinks Vince McMahon changed the AJ Styles vs Brock Lesnar match.
Jericho said Vince and WWE see no difference between Styles & Daniel Bryan and they made the change because of Becky Lynch's injury.
Below is what he said:
"I think Vince wanted a buzz going into Survivor Series because he lost his main event which was Ronda vs. Becky,"
"Stuff happens. If you see the punch that she took, oh my gosh! It didn't look like a potato, it looked like a legitimate delivered punch to the face. But whatever, we'll hold off for judgment on that," stated Jericho.
"I think that once [Vince] lost his main event, because I do think Survivor Series would have main evented with Rousey vs. Becky, he needed a buzz. I want buzz-worthy. I will change the title because to him AJ and Bryan are the same. They're both great workers. They're both the same size. They're both going to get eaten alive by Brock depending what mood Brock is in if he even wants to have a match or whatever. Because sometimes Brock will just show up and say, 'we'll just talk about it in the ring.' That's what happened with Ambrose at WrestleMania. They didn't even go over anything."
"So I think that's why they did it."
