As RAW started, Chris Jericho came down the ring to kick things off. He grabbed the microphone and said he is a pure genius for making plans along with Eric Bischoff the last few weeks. To him the end of John was near and he couldn't wait to take the title away from him. He then reminisced about last week—making fun of John's performance and Carlito pinning him. He then gave himself credit for being the best referee of all time. Jericho then shows the footage of last week when he kicked Cena below the belt. Jericho then said Cena could lose his WWE title tonight to Carlito, but even if Cena loses, he is the big winner because he will walk out of Summerslam with the WWE title. Jericho then talked about tearing Cena apart but suddenly John ran down the ramp and slid into the ring. He tackled Jericho and started to fight with him. Bischoff soon appeared at the top of the ramp telling the guards to get in there and stop it. They finally did as told and Bischoff started screaming at Cena. He said that John's title reign is going to come to an end tonight. Then he announced that there would be another special guest referee tonight and that man is someone who calls it right down the middle. Yeah right….but that man was Chris Jericho.

Julia watched horrified as Eric announced the main event for tonight, she was in the women's locker room with Christy watching the whole thing.

" I should have never told him." she stated

" John was going to kick Jericho's ass regardless of what you said. But what he did to you was the lighter for his fuse. John just has to stay focus tonight and handle his business." Christy replied

" I wish this would all stop, John is going through more hell here then he did on Smackdown. It's like is being Champion really worth it." Julia commented

" I think it is." Christy replied

" I'm going to go find John. Make sure he's….okay." Julia said as she left the room, walking towards John's locker room. She wasn't really surprised to find him walking to it also. He stopped and looked at her as if he expected her to be angry at him for breaking his promise to her. She looked at him as if to say I'm sorry I got you in more trouble. Soon standing face to face, they both sighed.

" I'm sorry.' John said quietly

" For what?" Julia asked puzzled

" I said I wouldn't attack Jericho and I did the complete opposite. But I couldn't help it, he put his hands on you. Going after him was just my natural response." he replied

" John, don't apologize. You stood up for my honor. I should be the one apologizing to you. Now Jericho is your ref again." she said

" Jericho would have been my ref regardless. I don't care, I just don't want anything to happen to you." he replied as he stepped closer to her, for the first time in their friendship Julia Martin had reached her arms out and hugged him willingly. John was shocked, usually he would have to drag her into an embrace, but here she was hugging him tightly. I may loose tonight, but right now I won in your arms. John thought as they remained that way for a few moments.

It was time for the match before either Julia or John knew it. Soon John's entrance music hit but instead of entertaining the crowd, he headed straight for the ring. Going right for Jericho he was suddenly stopped as Carlito ripped off his shirt and used it to choke him. Jericho counted slowly as Carlito choked the life out of John. John managed to Irish whip Carlito but Jericho pulled him out of the way as John tried to attack. Jericho tried some quick three counts but to no avail. Carlito hit on John but he fired back with right hands. Yet as Jericho grabbed his arms, he and Carlito then tossed John into the ring post together and he went flying outside the ring as RAW went to a commercial break. During that time, Julia couldn't take it anymore. Surprisingly, she found herself walking to the entrance and soon past the curtains. To the crowd's approval she made her way down the ramp and stood at ringside to cheer John on. When John got up and entered the ring, Carlito immediately put him in a wrist lock but he got to his feet and knocked Carlito down. Carlito kicked John in the chest and nailed a neckbreaker. Jericho went for another fast count but John kicked out and Jericho hit him and attempted another fast count. Carlito back elbowed John, but he kicked out again. Carlito angrily beat on him in the corner as Julia cursed at him. He picked John up and tried to perform a vertical suplex but John blocked it and went for one of his own. Yet, Jericho pulled the legs of Carlito back down allowing him to do a DDT. John placed his foot on the ropes as Carlito tried to pin him. Jericho went for the count anyway but John managed kick out. Carlito continued to beat on him but John ducked a blow and gave Carlito a shoulder block. He then tackled Jericho but Carlito pounced on him and placed him in a side headlock. Jericho begged for him to quit but John wouldn't. He worked his way to his feet and managed to drop Carlito over his back. He ran at Carlito but Jericho hit him with a face crusher. The fight continued to the outside where Carlito slammed John's head off the security rail after it was exposed by Jericho.

" You bastard! Stop this." Julia yelled at Bischoff who only laughed at her comments, Carlito rolled him back in the ring and got another near quick three count. John managed to shift the power in the match and performed the five knuckle shuffle but Jericho refused to count. John got angry and started to choke Jericho but Carlito attacked him from behind. Julia watched as John started to fight him and threw a back elbow to Jericho. Soon John was going for the FU but Bischoff gets on the apron and Jericho kicked John in the gut. John then pushed Jericho into Bischoff knocking him off the apron. He then clotheslined Jericho over the top rope and hit Carlito with the FU. Another referee comes in and counts the three count, Julia cheered as she jumped up in joy when John won. Just as she was about to enter the ring,. Jericho kicked John below the belt. He drop kicked him out of the ring and slammed his head on the security rail.

" Stop this!" Julia yelled, " Let go of him."

Jericho ignored her and suplexed John on the mat. He went to grab a camera, but Julia took off her shoes and tried to interfere. She jumped on his back and dung her nails into his scalp. Jericho grunted and grabbed her arms to flip her over unto the ground. Julia grabbed her ankle in pain from the impact. He then picked her up roughly and tossed her into the steel steps. Jericho then proceeded to grab a camera and hit John right in the head with it. John's head was busted open as Jericho brought him up on the apron. In the ring he gave him a hangman on the ropes and then he placed him in the Walls of Jericho. Bischoff slapped John in the face as Jericho held the lock for several seconds. Bischoff turned to Julia as she was slowly moving and trying to get up from the ground.

" Oh don't strain yourself Ms. Martin! Since you don't seem to like Jericho as a referee, maybe you might like him as a wrestler. Because next week right here on RAW. It will be CHRIS JERICHO versus……Julia Martin." he announced as Jericho finally broke the lock on John. He stopped to look at t Julia before he and Bischoff walk up the ramp together.
