The two wrestlers last met under the roof of WCW in 1999 for an infamous Mask vs Title match in which Jericho emerged victoriously. This led to Guerrera being forced to abandon his sacred mask that night. However, Guerrera made his way out wearing his traditional Mexican mask.

This match had a unique stipulation; in order to win the match, Jericho must hit a top rope move to win this match.

Right off the bat, Guerrera inflicted heavy attacks on Jericho with chops and forearms in the corner; eventually, driving Jericho out of the ring with a lariat.
