RVD spoiled Chris Jericho and Eric Bischoff’s plan to ambush Booker T during an edition of The Highlight Reel, so Bischoff gave Jericho a shot at Van Dam’s Intercontinental Championship. Jericho trapped RVD in the Walls of Jericho, but RVD was nearing the ropes. Just before he was able to grab the ropes, Bischoff distracted the referee. Jericho pulled RVD back to the center of the ring before the referee made him break the hold, and RVD tapped out.
