One possible new feud that might have come out of the Royal Rumble would pit Dean Ambrose and Chris Jericho against each other, a rivalry that could be a memorable one. Ambrose, the reigning Intercontinental Champion, eliminated Jericho from the Rumble after Y2J had a lengthy run of more than 45 minutes. That on its own normally wouldnt be enough, but the announcers made sure to recall that Jericho and Ambrose had a tense moment after Jericho joined Dean and Roman Reigns in a six-man tag match over the summer against the Wyatt Family. That was such a fleeting brush-off, that bringing it back up like that seems to point to conflict between the two. A Jericho/Ambrose feud could be a good one (as could Y2J and AJ Styles, but one thing at a time), especially with Jericho chasing a record 10th Intercontinental Championship. Even better, it could prompt a heel turn for Lionheart, which could help reinvigorate the legendary wrestler.
