WWE’s 10 Worst Title Matches Of 2017

10. Chris Jericho (C) Vs. Kevin Owens - WrestleMania

WWE got the build-up to Chris Jericho versus Kevin Owens spot on. In fact, it was so good that a lot of fans were disappointed that their WrestleMania match was only for the United States Championship, rather than in the main event slot for the Universal Championship.

From Jericho’s list to the Festival of Friendship, the ‘best friends’ shared an unparalleled chemistry as partners on the microphone, but for some reason it didn’t work as opponents.

There was no reason why this match could not steal the show in Florida, and yet these two great storytellers failed to portray the intensity that should have been brewing following eight months of narrative. The action was pedestrian - Owens and Jericho were out of sync.

The match was by no means terrible but it fell well short of its lofty expectations. Owens’ 365 documentary on the WWE network showed Vince McMahon’s unsatisfied response and KO’s heartbreak after he and Jericho let a potential classic slip through their fingers.
