10 Burning Questions For WWE Payback

6. Will KO Keep The US Title?

With the news coming that Chris Jericho is heading back on tour with Fozzy soon, it’s fair to assume that he’s not emerging from Payback with the United States Championship in hand and heading to SmackDown Live.

Of course, things could always change or WWE could throw us a big curveball, but it certainly feels like Kevin Owens is destined to defend his US title Sunday and continue on as the “Face of America” over on SmackDown Live.

If KO does indeed retain the title, will he also put Jericho on the shelf to explain his upcoming absence, or will someone else knock him out of commission on Raw the following night?

Owens and Jericho had a good match at WrestleMania, but if this truly is the end of their rivalry (for now), then hopefully they get time to put together a really good match that serves as an appropriate send-off to Jeri-KO.
