10 Grand Moments We Need To See At WrestleMania 33

9. Some Much-Needed Comeuppance

Kevin Owens has emerged as a true villain in recent months, but a lot of that hatred has come at the expense of his former best friend, Chris Jericho. As a heel tandem, JeriKO were always charmingly entertaining, but since Owens's vicious beating of Jericho, he's simply been a bully.

Jericho got some measure of revenge when he cost "The Prizefighter" his Universal Title in a bout with Bill Goldberg at Fastlane, but the friends will be clashing at WrestleMania with Jericho's U.S. Championship on the line. Common sense points to Owens winning - after all, Jericho usually puts his opponents over in programs these days, and there are rumors that he's got some time off coming.

If Jericho were to win, though, it would likely surprise and delight the fans in attendance. It would also offer a bit of vindication (both in kayfabe and real life) for Y2J, who's been so delightful since returning to the company early last year - after all, he's still got the goods and fans will still pay to see him get his revenge on a foe. As for the title change, there's always Extreme Rules.
