The Triple H-related fun isn't finished just yet.

The 13 February 2017 Raw was a masterclass in foreshadowing. Firstly, Triple H interrupted some 'Festival Of Friendship' preparations between Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens backstage. He wanted to have a quiet word with KO, but the mics never picked up exactly what was said.

Later, Samoa Joe (Trips' new protege) worked an in-ring interview segment with Michael Cole that helped set the table for what was to come elsewhere. Throughout the chat, Cole frequently questioned how Joe could trust a man (Triple H) who had turned his back on friendship time and time again. Joe was unmoved.

Finally, Owens wore an uneasy expression during the 'Festival' with Jericho before eventually turning on him. That's when it became clear that Triple H had told him he had to get rid of his partner. This led to a KO vs. Jericho feud, which wasn't initially a clear plan in amongst all the 'Friendship' hubbub.
