As great as Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens have been as a unit, it's only a matter of time before their partnership comes to an end. Already, teases have been dropped that Owens is only out for himself, and that Jericho's proximity to the champ is hurting him in the long run. Eventually, they'll have to split up and have a match.

It's possible that the split could happen as soon as Sunday. For all of his selfishness and paranoia, Jericho has been a surprisingly loyal ally to Owens, taking several beatings on his behalf and hardly questioning the process. It's possible that it's all building up to a babyface turn on Sunday, though.

The scenario plays out in pretty straightforward fashion. Jericho somehow gets involved, either by breaking into the cage or on the outside if Owens and Rollins break out. Jericho helps Owens, but in the process, gets hurt (falls off the cage?) and Owens ignores him. Then, when the match is over, an angry Jericho attacks Owens, setting him up as the next challenger.

The only thing stopping it from happen is something more likely to happen in the match... but more on that later.
