On Wednesday's episode of The Young and the Restless, Victor (Eric Braeden) was all smiles when he approached Matt (Roger Howarth) at The Shadow Room. What was Victor wearing? Why, his famous black leather jacket, of course!

On Facebook, Y&R fans reacted to Victor's choice of attire:

"Ohhh, Victor is in his leather jacket. That means business," one user noted.

"He's going to settle matters in a pugilistic manner!" another user remarked.

"Whenever you see Victor wearing his leather jacket, it means Victor is ready to rumble!" another fan agreed.

Another fan commented, "Everybody knows what the leather jacket represents."

"Victor still has one mean right hook," still another user said. "He'll wipe the floor with him. Run, Matt."

More fans agreed, as one stated, "He boxes regularly, so if I were Matt/Mitch, I'd be very afraid."

"That jacket is his power move," another fan pointed out.

"Something is about to go down when Victor shows up in that leather jacket," another user said, adding "lol."

"He's gonna kick some ass in Victor style," another fan commented.

"Yep, it's game on when the black leather jacket comes out," still another fan said, adding a heart emoji.

Matt looked unfazed by Victor's presence

Even though Matt knows Victor wields a lot of power, he didn't seem surprised or worried that The Great Victor Newman walked into his nightclub, demanding to know where Noah (Lucas Adams) is. Matt just stood there and laughed. His portrayer, Roger Howarth, really seems to be enjoying himself and eating up the role of bad-boy Matt Clark.

After Victor left the club, Matt even told Detective Burrow (Matt Cohen) that Victor's presence and his threats do not upset him in the least. "I feel inspired!" Matt said. Wow! It sounds like the wheels in Matt's evil mind are turning, and he's now going to come up with a plan to outsmart Victor. What plan could that be? Has Victor finally met his match? We doubt it. Victor will do anything to protect his grandson, Noah, from Matt.

Facebook fans know Victor takes serious action whenever someone is out to hurt his family. As one user exclaimed, "Matt Clark, don't mess with the Mustache!!"

Another fan remarked, "Victor + leather jacket = BADASS BUSINESS!!"

"Victor and that leather jacket means heads will roll!!" another user said.

One user even remarked, "Victor reminds me of Dirty Harry, Clint Eastwood," quoting the famous line from the movie, "Do you feel lucky, punk?"

"What a great thing to say when Victor walked into that club and said, 'I'll be damned. Matt Clark.' Epic!" still another fan exclaimed.

More fans agreed that this fight will be no big deal for Victor. He can handle it with no problem.

"Uh oh. Victor in his leather. Dude, you're in trouble!" one fan cried.

"The leather jacket. Victor ain't playing," another user agreed.

It's clear that Y&R fans are excited to see how Victor will defeat Matt. After all, defeating enemies is what Victor does best!

Victor has an idea in mind

When Victor met with Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Sharon (Sharon Case) on The Young and the Restless to discuss everything that's going on with Matt and Noah, Victor thought of a way they could solve their problem. What's his idea? We can only imagine what it entails, considering that we all know how ruthless Victor is. Nick and Sharon told him all the worry and heartache they've gone through since they arrived in L.A. Matt liked to play games with them, and he was also playing games with Noah's life. Victor won't stand for that.

Victor knows how dangerous Matt is, but he isn't backing down any time soon. Fans are anxious to see the Mustache take on Matt. Victor is determined and will do whatever it takes to save his grandson. Now that Victor is in L.A., hopefully this story will pick up some steam in the next couple of weeks.
