5 Ups And 8 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (March 20)
1. The Feud Of Jericho (And KO)
Does anyone want to place bets on whether Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens are writing their own material for this feud? Because it far exceeds almost everything else being built up for WrestleMania.
Jericho hosted a Highlight Reel that featured images and messages from Owens, including a picture of the then-16-year-old KO in a Y2J T-shirt in his parents’ basement. Jericho used the materials to paint the picture that he was Owens’ hero, and when Y2J’s music hits at Mania, KO will be transported back to being a teenage nerd wearing his shirt. It was awesome, personal stuff.
And then Samoa Joe sauntered out, providing a distraction for Owens to jump Jericho from behind and hit the Pop-Up Powerbomb. A perfect crescendo to this musical selection.
