7 Biggest Winners From WWE Live MSG
4. Kevin Owens
Chris Jericho should be given some props before discussing this match. This night in MSG marked his 25th anniversary in the wrestling business. He had some friends at ringside including the man who competed with him in his first ever match, Lance Storm. Kudos to him for a storied career that he's still contributing to.
Kevin Owens and Y2J meshed well together, as expected. Owens was his usual mocking self, even shouting a snarky "Happy Anniversary" to Jericho during the match.
Just like when he first won the title off of Ryback, a rake to the eyes was the tactic used to finish this match. Jericho just about had his Walls of Jericho locked in for a second time and likely would've finished Owens off but a later replay showed that one of Kevin's fingers poked into one of Chris' eye sockets.
Owens rolled up Jericho to successfully retain his Intercontinental Championship. Even though it was cheap, Jericho is a legend and MSG is a notable venue. This was a big win for Kevin Owens.
