What they could do is have Jericho do what he's doing for the next several weeks, and have Benjamin slowly try to bring that passion for wrestling out of Jericho by trying to motivate him, set him up in matches, etcs. Jericho keeps turning him away, and wants to be left alone all this time, but Benjamin keeps trying. It ends up with Benjamin getting into some feud, maybe with Hassan, and gets beatdown badly, leading to Jericho caring for Benjamin, and once again giving a shit about wrestling.
