3. The End Of The Jericho Renaissance

Fans watching Raw on Monday saw the inevitable - but still heartbreaking - dissolution of the best friendship between Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens. An assault by the Universal Champion saw Jericho - and their bromance - left in tatters.

It's clear that Jericho and Owens will be wrestling one another at WrestleMania, and given that Owens is defending his Universal Championship against Goldberg at Fastlane, it'll be Jericho's United States Title on the line in their match. Given that Jericho's main purpose these days is to put other stars over, odds are that Owens will be winning the match, the title, and the feud itself.

After that, what's left for Jericho?

This has been his longest run with WWE in over half a decade, and it's been great, but he's always going to make time for Fozzy, and the writing's probably on the wall. Expect Jericho to head out shortly after WrestleMania, and expect Orlando to host his last major match for the time being.
