This MJF storyline and the gauntlet of matches really seems like a Jericho retirement tour. You don't do a deathmatch at his age without it being a final career bucket list item. You also don't have a long-game story on sequential high profile TV episodes without a really huge audience (and Jericho watches the ratings closely).
I smell retirement coming after he hands the torch to MJF when this wraps up.
