There was a few minutes of downtime as the announcers left and Lillian was busy
talking to a few people. She comes in the ring and is about to announce the
main event, but after talking with the ringside guys some more, announces that
the show is over due to the events that had just occurred. Everyone starts to
leave, the video screens begin to shut down, and the referees come out to start
disassembling the ring.
This goes on for a few minutes, until John Cena comes out. He says Chicago was
promised a championship defense, and asks everyone "who can hear his voice" to
come out of the concourse. Eventually, Jericho comes back out, in full ring
gear, and we have our match. It was a decent match, with Jericho attacking Cena
with a microphone and the steel stairs, but Cena wins with the
soon-to-be-renamed FU.
I'm sure some fans who left will be upset upon hearing what happened, but if
this was all planned, it was very well done. Heck I was on my way out too, but
because the line out was so long, I was still inside when Cena came out.
