Kevin Owens arrives and stays on the ramp. Owens announces he'll be in Jericho's corner, Jericho will be in his corner at WWE Roadblock and Owens and Jericho are getting a tag team title shot against The New Day tonight. Chris Jericho interrupts next and asks Kevin Owens if he's crazy because he didn't agree to any of what he just stated. Rollins says Owens is trying to manipulate Jericho.
