Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho Start Their Dissension

The Royal Rumble has come and gone, and Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho are as close as ever. Owens still has his Universal title, Jericho has the U.S. title, and all is well in the land of Kevin and Chris. But that can’t last forever.

Owens needs an opponent for WrestleMania, and although Jericho having the U.S. title seems to throw a wrench into the idea of him facing KO, it doesn’t necessarily have to. Jericho could easily drop the U.S. title before Mania. And if not, it could always be a title vs title match at the Show of Shows to add a little bit of extra intrigue.

But in order to get to that point, Owens and Jericho’s friendship needs to start taking a hit. We’re predicting that begins to happen tonight. Although it’s not clear how or why it would happen, their relationship has been going on for a long time now. They’re still funny and their on-screen dynamic has never been better, but all good things must come to an end. And if their friendship coming to an end means we get the payoff of them facing off at WrestleMania, then it should absolutely happen.
