It’s been said before, but it bears repeating: Chris Jericho is on a roll on the mic these days. Y2J turned in another great performance during his Highlight Reel talk show segment with Sami Zayn, taunting him about Kevin Owens’ success and how Zayn must be jealous.

Sami, to his credit, not only held his own, but raised the bar by calling out Jericho for regressing from a multi-time world champion who traveled the world to being KO’s sidekick. (Also, cutting off Y2J’s “gift of Jericho” line to say that “that gift sucks” was another awesome moment.) Zayn really peppered Jericho, which built nicely to Y2J smashing Sami’s head with a cellphone and delivering a Codebreaker.

The match between the two should be top-notch, and finally, Sami has a feud! Great stuff all-around.
