Erick Rowan reveals Chris Jericho attacked him in a church with a steel chair

Erick Rowan talked about Chris Jericho, revealing that when he was in FCW, he went to volunteer in a church where he had to play a role. There, he met Chris Jericho for the first time and found out that as part of their volunteer work, Chris Jericho would be attacking him with a steel chair.

"He did hit me with a chair at church. Me and Saxton went to the same church in Tampa, Florida. This was when I was in FCW. He asked me if I could volunteer for the church. I said, 'Okay, I can volunteer for the church.' And so I went to volunteer for the church and Jericho was there. They said, 'Okay, we are gonna have another guy to be forgiveness and I want you to be bitterness. When I was there, they said, 'Okay, your manager for bitterness, a very very bitter man, is going to be Chris Jericho.' Because he was a member of the church as well. So, yeah, he hit me with a chair and that was how I was first introduced to Jericho."

Chris Jericho also happened to be the very first person that Erick Rowan would face in a WWE main event. The two would do battle in a show in Corpus Christi.

"My first main event I had in the WWE, you never forget the first singles main event you have on television, it was against Jericho in Corpus Christi. It was a two segment match, and I was like, 'Okay, that's really funny.'"
