There's something special brewing between Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens. Despite the claims of both in storyline that they are the best of friends, there's been definite friction ever since Owens became WWE Universal Champion. A storied champion in his own right, Jericho's jealous attempts to push himself into KO's spotlight are crystal clear.

The whole story is working a treat and is only helped by some wonderful performances. Appearing first on Raw, JerikO were out to discuss a supposed vendetta against them from General Manager Mick Foley. Almost as soon as they hit the ring, the live crowd in Denver were all over proceedings with a loud 'Y2J' chant.

Small details like this are easily missed by some performers. Then again, Kevin Owens isn't a regular wrestler. Tuning into what the fans were doing, he wore a great expression on his face. Peeved and bemused at the fact people were chanting for his so-called buddy, Owens then called their cheers irrelevant.

Facial expression is often overlooked in wrestling, it's vitally important to telling a story. On this occasion, Owens was on point.
