10 Booking Steps For WWE Raw (June 27)

10. Chris Jericho Stakes His Claim For The Battleground Triple Threat Match

On last week's Monday Night Raw, Chris Jericho approached Shane McMahon backstage and claimed he should be the top contender for the WWE World Heavyweight Title. Naturally, the heel's logic was flawed, but that was the beauty of it. The best villains are those deluded enough to believe they are owed it all.

Now that Roman Reigns will be absent for the build towards Battleground, WWE need to focus directly on Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins. That doesn't mean others can't be involved, the company can book some segments regarding a possible replacement for Roman, which is where Jericho would be coming from in this skit.

Interrupting Shane McMahon's welcome to the show, Y2J again reiterates his believe that he should be in line for a title shot. Sick of the Canadian, McMahon would then put him in a match against Dean Ambrose to prove it. Should he win, he'd be entered into the Battleground headliner.

That's a bout fans have seen a lot recently, but it's also a fine television main event, not to mention topical given Jericho's firm belief that he belongs in the title hunt.
