Come the Royal Rumble pay-per-view in January, Chris Jericho will be suspended above the ring for Kevin Owens vs. Roman Reigns. This is an attempt by Mick Foley to stop Y2J from interfering in the match, something he'd find it hard to do when dealing with a supposed fear of heights.

That must be a newfound fear, because Jericho has worked countless Ladder Matches during his career. Jokes aside, WWE have the opportunity to let Jericho and Owens loose on some comedy this coming week. These pre-taped skits could end up being a highlight of the show, introduced by a sniggering announce team.

Filmed before Raw, the segments show KO trying to convince Jericho that everything will be alright when he's in the cage. Taking his buddy on rollercoasters, scaling tall buildings to look over the city, and maybe even up ladders could all be parts of the script.

If Jericho then said he didn't like ladders, Owens would point out that he invented the Money In The Bank idea.
