7 Ups And 5 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Feb 13)
1. Jeri-KO No More
You knew it was only a matter of time before Jeri-KO imploded, but OH MY GOD, was that a spectacular implosion of the two best friends.
Chris Jericho threw a Festival of Friendship for Kevin Owens Monday night, complete with questionable artwork, a crappy magician and Gillberg (no, seriously) to show how important their friendship meant. Owens had a gift for Jericho, and it turned out to be a new list… The List of KO. And Jericho’s name was on it.
Cue epic beatdown and stretcher job.
Although a reason wasn’t given, it’s safe to say that Owens lost it because Jericho threw KO into a WWE Universal Championship match against Goldberg at Fastlane. Owens’ beating of Jericho was awesome in how sudden it was and how the crowd was stunned by it. That ends nearly months of a partnership that was a highly entertaining part of Raw, but it clearly was time for the duo to part ways.
Whether their eventual WrestleMania match is for the Universal Championship will be determined in a few weeks, but it’ll be interesting to see the hatred boil in the interim.
