Last week’s rotating wrong names for Tom Phillips was so good that Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens came back Monday to torment the announcer once again.

Each man was focused on trying to convince the other that he was going to win the Universal Championship next week (“Me,” “Me,” “ME”), but that didn’t stop Jericho from informing Phillips (or Philippe, as Y2J called him) that Roman Reigns was going to get “it.” Oh, and he’s a stupid idiot. The crowd chanting along for both of those catchphrases was proof enough that he’s doing something right.

And then Owens capped it all off by stealing Phillips’ pocket square, a simple gesture, but perfectly in line with his typical antics. Overall, it was another fun segment with Jeri-KO.
