8 Ups & 5 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Nov 21)
5. BFFs
Are the best friends fracturing? Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho certainly gave that impression last night. The duo were part of Raw's losing men's team at Survivor Series, and they were understandably frustrated. It started when Jericho kicked-off an edition of the Highlight Reel, but he didn't have much time to speak his mind before Owens interrupted.
They bickered back and forth, but after teasing a break-up, Jeri-KO drew the mutual conclusion that Roman Reigns was to blame. They hugged it out, and out came Seth Rollins. Reigns followed when Jericho and Owens attacked The Architect, and by the end of the segment, Mick Foley had booked the evening's Universal Championship match. An enjoyable segment that furthered the bad blood between its four protagonists, and put the wheels in motion for a huge main event.
Whether Jericho and Owens' argument was a ruse or not, the BFFs are back on the same page. Their partnership has played a huge role in Jericho's career revival, and their chemistry levels are through the roof. Whenever Jericho and Owens are onscreen together, magic inevitably happens. Jericho's time with the company might be limited, but it's too early to tear them apart just yet, and WWE made a smart move in teasing but not delivering last night.
