The wrestlers took the match into the Jaguars’ stadium and into an office where Meyer and Strong were studying film.
Following the wresters entrance, Strong supplied the fight with a couple of footballs. Meyer joined in and gave Jericho his laptop as ammunition.

“The more you can do — I think that is the saying us coaches use. We had a good laugh watching this scene play back. #StadiumStampede,” Meyer tweeted.
