Jericho will absolutely be the face in an Owens feud. He's already a borderline face, as the crowd loves him and he has to work every week to turn them against him. He can do it because he's so good, but it will be no effort at all to turn him completely face. All he has to do is finally turn on Owens, give him a Codebreaker, grab a mic, and say, "YOU JUST MADE THE LIST." Easiest turn ever.
It's hard for me to see Reigns winning the title at Roadblock. Vince would have to be insane to try to put both the US and Universal Titles on Reigns. The crowd will shit all over it.
As far as Jericho and Owens go, I think Jericho helps Owens win the title, then turns on him, either at the end of Roadblock or the next night on Raw. Personally, I hope they do it as a mirror of when Owens turned on Zayn in NXT, where they're walking up the ramp with their arms around each other's shoulders and then Jericho throws Owens to the ground and beats him down.
I read somewhere Triple H wont be coming back until the football season ends.
so it looks like we wont see Triple HHH until the rumble or after the rumble.
If Owens vs Jericho is the rumble match. then Rollins would be in play for the rumble as its the only way for him to get back into title contention. Which he believes is the only way to get Triple HH's Attention
That means Reigns most likely wont be in the Rumble as he just had his title shot and he most likely will be defending his U.S Title.
Then its the road to WrestleMania. One factor is does Finn Balor returns for the Rumble or WrestleMania. I'm guessing WrestleMania. I would think though a promo appearance at roadblock would indicate Balor expecting to be ring ready by the Rumble.
Jericho rumored to be going on tour with his band on WrestleMania and apparently his return run was only supposed to be for 4 months.
on the Next front. I can see the Revival going to Smackdown. I think Austin Aries is going to the Cruiserweight division and there has been speculation about Tye Dillinger vs Miz feud since a twitter war erupted
Tye: @mikethemiz could use a slap in the mouth
Miz: We have a much harder ranking system in Hollywood. For instance, an Orlando 10 is an LA 5...Just like @WWENXT 10 is #SDLive 5. #BigLeagues
Tye: Behind the bright lights of Tinseltown hides a boy from the real world..Don't worry Mizzy, if the opportunity arises, I'll make it quick
Miz: Does #Perfect10 stand for the 10 years you've been in developmental? I mean, how long do I have to wait?
Tye: You don't. A simple invite from an IC champ with a set of balls is all that's required...so actually, looks like I'll be the one waiting.
Miz: I've defended the IC Title 3 times against top talent in 2 weeks u should talk to @WWEDanielBryan he likes giving undeserving talent shots
That's two works initiated by NXT talent this week.
I'm not so sure Samoa Joe is an automatic for Smackdown. I am positive that we will see him either at roadblock or The Rumble.
AJ having Dolph Ziggler as number 1 contender is a perfect opportunity for Samoa Joe to make an impact debut on Smackdown but I can also see Samoa Joe Leapfroggin Stroman for a out the gate feud against Roman Reigns.
