How entertaining a duo are Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens right now? They have stumbled upon a rare comedic chemistry since they were randomly paired up over the summer and in recent weeks have consistently offered the most entertaining segment on Raw. This week was no different and they found a trio in The New Day with whom to interact that could match them wit-for-wit.
Jericho has always done well in segments with New Day, but there was something refreshing about seeing Woods, E, and Kingston in the spotlight with the Universal Champion and his best pal on Monday, going toe-to-toe with worthy charismatic trash-talkers. The record-seeking Tag Team Champions have entered the meander zone since WrestleMania, their act still over and selling tons of merchandise but lacking the edge and full-effectiveness as characters that first prompted grown men to proudly wear unicorn horns on their heads in New Day's honour.
Perhaps they are at a stage where they need verbal sparring partners on their level to produce television that lives up to the reputation that they have built over the last year and a half.
The match that was spawned by their show-enhancing microphone duel was not must-see, but their verbal interaction certainly was. It made the list!
