Jericho & Blackpool Combat Club Feud Simmers

On this week's Collision, Chris Jericho and Big Bill teamed up to defeat Private Party (Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen). However, their victory wasn't the end of the story. Samoa Joe, HOOK, and Katsuyori Shibata, collectively known as the Blackpool Combat Club, challenged Jericho and his group to a trios match at Forbidden Door. This rivalry has been brewing for months, with Jericho defeating both HOOK and Shibata at Double or Nothing with the help of Bryan Keith.
