10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Kevin Owens

10. That Chris Jericho Match At WrestleMania 33

Despite plying their trade in rival promotions at this current moment in time, Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens will likely forever be linked - seen again in Jericho's referencing of his pal "Kevin" on Dynamite recently - on the back of a programme that acts as one of both stars' finest to date.

However, what followed undoubtedly the hottest programme the company had committed to in the lead-up to 'Mania 33 would eventually leave many wondering why they bothered to invest in the friends-turned-bitter-enemies storyline in the first place.

Shuffled onto the card in the dreaded second bout of the night spot, Le Champion and KO would put on a solid if unspectacular apparent blow-off to a feud that once looked destined to main event the whole show with Owens' Universal Championship on the line.

Plans would obviously change as Goldberg and Brock Lesnar were thrown the strap instead. And what was already a no doubt disappointing evening for the pair only got worse for Owens when he got back to gorilla, with the boss telling Kevin that their US title contest was the "worst match in WrestleMania history".

Sure enough, you can bet WWE won't be highlighting this showdown in any promo packages for KO heading into 'Mania 38.
