More than Kevin Owens's championship is in jeopardy on Sunday. For the past few weeks, he and best friend Chris Jericho have been bumping heads more and more often, and a split is inevitable.

It all started at Survivor Series, where Owens hit AJ Styles with The List of Jericho, ruining Y2J's life's work in the process. The following evening on Raw, the two men almost came to blows, but eventually reconciled and turned their attention to Roman Reigns. Nevertheless, tensions have still been running high, with Jericho catching wind of the fact that Owens has been using him, and both men claiming that they didn't need the other.

There's obviously got to be a split and a match sooner or later (and probably sooner), but it doesn't need to happen just yet. It would potentially add more intrigue to their relationship if Jericho announces his participation in the Royal Rumble, and then Owens tries to talk him into challenging AJ Styles if he wins. Either way, there's more mileage in the breakup before it goes all the way.
