10 Best Raw Segments Of 2017 So Far

Never mind segment of the year, the culmination of Jeri-KO's ill-fated Festival Of Friendship could make it into a list of best Raw moments of all time, such was the range and intensity of emotions that it provoked. What begun as a genuinely funny celebration of Owens and Jericho's beloved and incredibly entertaining partnership turned into a touching, sincere declaration of emotion as Chris openly told Kevin how much he valued their friendship and treasured the time they'd spent together. It's a sentiment that was enhanced by how much of it rang true, as Jericho's run with Owens made for one of the most enjoyable periods in his long career.

It's probably the 'List Of Jericho' shtick that was the most amusing element of the duo's routine, so it's fitting that it played a central role in their split. Owens' gift of a new list was met by cheers from both the audience and from Jericho himself, but as he took it out the box and 'The List Of KO' could be seen on the hard camera, the penny dropped and the realisation that something horrible was about to happen was unavoidable.

The building sense of dread as Owens' betrayal started to become obvious was chilling, culminating in true heartbreak with Jericho's sad, confused, and perfect delivery of, "Why's my name on the list?" What followed was one of the most aggressive, saddening betrayals in WWE's history, made even more affecting by the vulnerable expression of admiration that Jericho made mere moments before it happened. Packed full of every conceivable emotion, the sad, shocking, simply brilliant ending to the Festival of Friendship just can't be beaten.
