Take a look at the highlights from the tag team match Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho vs. Enzo Amore and Big Cass at WWE SummerSlam.
What began as a battle of words between Chris Jericho and Enzo Amore has turned into a full-fledged war for SummerSlam.
Chris Jericho and Enzo Amore first squared off in a Mixed Tag Match on Raw a few weeks ago, but after Big Cass got involved, Jericho decided he needed some backup. Enter Kevin Owens, and the team now known as “Jeri-KO” was formed.
Over the following weeks, Jeri-KO and Enzo and Cass crossed paths both verbally and physically, and to settle the feud, Stephanie McMahon and Mick Foley created this tag team match for WWE SummerSlam.
Enzo and Cass came out to open the show, and they got the crowd fired up as usual.

Needless to say, Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens weren’t amused. Jeri-KO wasted little time isolating Enzo to take the early advantage. However, Enzo eventualy found his footage, and he and Cass asserted themselves in the match.

Jeri-KO trapped Enzo in their corner for several minutes, and any time he tried to make the tag to Cass, Jeri-KO prevented it.

Chris Jericho went for a top rope maneuver, but Big Cass hit the big boot. KO, in turn, pulled Cass to the outside and eliminated him with a running cannonball on the outside. With that, KO and Jericho reestablished themselves in the match, both physically and mentally.
