When a fan tweeted on Tuesday thanking Triple H for making the Chris Jericho vs. AJ Styles match on RAW, Jericho replied to correct him. According to Jericho, it was none other than Vince McMahon’s idea to put him in the ring with Styles.

Declining RAW ratings reportedly influenced Vince’s decision to begin overseeing all aspects of the company more than he had been previously.
