2. Speaking Of Chemistry…

So Enzo Amore believes that he and Sasha Banks had some serious chemistry going in the ring last week, which Chris Jericho messed up. Between that and the Codebreaker Y2J gave Enzo after the match, Amore wanted revenge Monday, bringing Jericho and his new buddy Kevin Owens out.

To say that this foursome (with Big Cass) clicked would be accurate. Jericho is riding a resurgent wave these days, playing an arrogant, if delusional, heel, and he continued that portrayal Monday night. Owens, as usual, laid out a nice promo that cut down Enzo by telling Cass that he carried a bunch of dead weight up from NXT and now KO has to listen to Amore on the mic.

Enzo and Cass to their credit held their own and stood their ground against Jericho and Owens, which is no small task. It says something that WWE has entrusted Enzo to open Raw two weeks in a row, but he’s certainly proving himself each week.
