The show started as Chris Jericho came out to the arena. Jericho reminded the fans three weeks ago Kevin Owens betrayed him so he had it coming. He called out Owens and asked why he did that. Owens came out to the arena. Owens said that he did not stab his best friend in the back because he never was his best friend. Sami Zayn was actually his best friend and he stabbed him in the back, Jericho was just a tool to him and he used him. On the night he became Universal champion Triple H told him that everyone was coming after him so he had to keep the title, so he just used him. But when Jericho accepted Owen’s match against Goldberg, he became a burden. So he just spared him. And last night Jericho cost Owens the title which was his biggest mistake. Jericho said trusting Owens was his biggest mistake and he did not need to him to be his best friend anymore. What happened last night was just the beginning.
Jericho challenged Owens at WrestleMania. Owens said that he could take the Universal title anyway since he had a rematch clause promised. But before that he would take the US title away from Jericho, so he would only accept the challenge when Jericho put his title on the line. Jericho accepted. They fought inside the ring after the end of the segment. Samoa Joe and Sami Zayn also got involved in the fight. Jericho and Zayn stood tall at the end.
Match 1 – Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens – Short match, not even a five-minute length of the match. But this match clearly proved that Monday Night Raw is treating Sami Zayn as a mid card jobber. It was an easy win for Owens, he defeated Zayn after two powerbombs.
Winner – Kevin Owens
Match 2 – WWE Cruiserweight championship – Neville vs. Rich Swann – Really good match, both competitors were great in this match. The match was given ten minutes and both individuals utilised the time totally. Swann dominated most of the match but Neville somehow picked up the win.
