10 Burning Questions For WWE Raw (Aug 8)

3. Is Owens/Jericho The Best Canadian Pairing Ever?

Throughout the years, we’ve seen some awesome Canadian wrestler pairings: Chris Jericho & Chris Benoit, Edge & Christian, Bret & Owen Hart. But Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens could be one of the most entertaining and talented duos put together. (Sorry E&C.)

Owens has shown week in and week out why he’s easily one of the best on the roster, not just in the ring, but on the microphone (typically at commentary). Jericho has been golden in his latest run with the company, defying conventional wisdom after his previous returns turned sour. Together, they could and should be fantastic both in the ring and in interviews/promos.

It’ll be interesting to see how they feature on Raw this week, and how they interact with their likely foils, Enzo Amore & Big Cass. Enzo and Y2J had a pretty good go-round last week to open Raw, so this could be an easy continuation of that.
