10 Milestones of Jeri-KO: A Eulogy to WWE’s greatest friendship

#8 Jericho wins the US Title

Jericho captures his first ever United States Championship

After failing to capture the United States Title from Roman Reigns in multiple matches against the Champion, Jericho would then get the opportunity to do so as he and Owens teamed up in a handicap match against Reigns for the gold.

During this match, Owens would powerbomb Reigns against the ring apron before throwing him to Jericho to hit a codebreaker and pin him to become the new United States champion.

This was Jericho’s first ever US Title victory and with Owens and him now both holding Championship belts, their friendship was seemingly stronger than ever.
