A few weeks ago on Raw, one of wrestling's most entertaining partnerships was shattered. During the "Festival of Friendship" that was supposed to bring both men even closer together, Universal Champion Kevin Owens turned on United States Champion Chris Jericho, throwing him through the obscenely expensive Jeritron 6500 and badly injuring him in the process.

Jericho hasn't been seen on TV since the ambush, but all signs (and months of rumors) point to the former best friends squaring off in a WrestleMania match. Before that can happen, though, Y2J needs to fire back at Owens, and there are few opportunities better than during a championship defense.

That said, Jericho playing a role in the Owens-Goldberg match might simply distract from what the bout is trying to accomplish - plus, given how short Goldberg's last singles match was, there might not even be time for anyone to get involved. It's more likely that Jericho will show up on Raw tomorrow to get his much-deserved revenge.
