There isn't a ton of buzz heading into the Roadblock PPV because it's a PPV that feels like we've 'been there, done that' with most of the show's top matches. There's no better place for that than at Roadblock. But either way, if the plan is to do the match at one of those two PPVs, then Triple H will have to return to set it up ASAP. Triple H is rumored for either WrestleMania 33 or The Royal Rumble. The clock is ticking down to the return of Triple H, and whenever it happens, the widespread expectation is that it will lead to a feud and match with Seth Rollins, who mentioned Triple H multiple times during his promo on this week's Raw. Balor to headline The Royal Rumble with the title on the line. 'The Demon King' certainly has a claim to the Universal Championship, and given his history with Owens, it would be a logical scenario for Owens vs. Though a Royal Rumble return for Balor would be ideal, perhaps it's better for him to come back at Roadblock if he isn't going to win the 30-man Royal Rumble match. Jericho, then it could be the ideal platform to bring back Finn Balor.īalor was initially advertised to appear at Roadblock and recently revealed that he hopes to be back in time for WrestleMania 33, which could be his way of trying to throw fans off so that his surprise is more of a return. If WWE doesn't use Roadblock to set up Owens vs. Owens' feud with Roman Reigns and Jericho's rivalry with Seth Rollins are crisscrossing by design, and it all appears to be leading toward the end of JeriKO.Įxpect Jericho to get involved in Owens' match at Roadblock (or vice versa) and for their interaction to lead to a split, possibly setting up an Owens/Jericho Universal title match at The Royal Rumble or even WrestleMania 33.

Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho, as JeriKO, have been arguably the most entertaining act in all of WWE this year, but over the last several months, we've seen several teases of a split of the supposed best friends.Įspecially during the last two Raw episodes, WWE has made it clear that Jericho and Owens will soon be going their separate ways after plenty of recent friction between the two. Thus, the best case scenario is for Banks to beat Charlotte, leading to Bayley, who's been underutilized since her main roster debut, finally getting a legitimate chance to feud for the Raw Women's Championship. Charlotte match on PPV, and that doesn't need to happen again. After all, if Charlotte wins this bout, we're probably getting another Banks vs. Ideally, the winner of this match will feud with Bayley heading into The Royal Rumble, a match that can more easily be set up if Banks gets the win. Strowman has improved considerably in 2016, but working with and defeating Big Show could be what really gets him over the hump and helps firmly establish him as one of Raw's top heels.Ĭharlotte and Sasha Banks will battle in a 30-minute Ironman Match at Roadblock, one that should be the end of one of the greatest women's rivalries ever.
