#4 Kevin Owens (United States Champion) (-1 Spot)
Trending
As I touched on in the previous slide, Kevin Owens had one heck of a week last week.
After being defeated by Chris Jericho at Payback for his United States title, an irate Kevin Owens demanded a title rematch on Smackdown Live. Claiming that he would take back his US Title and his title as “Face of America”, Owens displayed some ruthless aggression that has been lacking from his character for months now.
A former WWE writer just went after JBL for his comments HERE
He defeated Jericho in an unbelievable back-and-forth contest that saw Owens locked in the Walls of Jericho several times and just escaping defeat by making his way to the ropes. Toward the end of the match, Jericho was knocked loopy by a DDT on the entrance ramp and finished off by a Pop-Up Powerbomb in the ring, making Owens US Champ once again.
However, KO wasn’t done with his former best friend.
Owens continued the attack with another Pop-Up Powerbomb. When he went for a third, Jericho fell to the mat lifeless and almost certainly concussed. Owens left the ring, but eventually made his way back to ringside to inflict more damage.
He grabbed a steel chair, wrapped it around Jericho’s head and throat, and slammed him into the steel post, almost certainly putting Y2J out of action for an extended period of time. KO now must direct his attention to AJ Styles, the new #1 contender to his title, in a feud that is sure to be a contender for “Feud of the Year” and “Match of the Year”.
