Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I uru a Jericho ki a Owens, Braun Strowman, Roman Reigns, me Seth Rollins hei waahanga o te Team Raw i te Survivor Series i te Noema 20, i te kaha ngaro. I te po i muri mai i runga i te "Raw", ahakoa te aukati i te ringside, i puta a Jericho i roto i te kopare Sin Cara ka whakaeke i a Rollins, i tetahi atu whakapae angitu mo Owens. I te wiki e whai ake nei i runga i te "Raw", ka puta mai nga taumahatanga i waenga i a Jericho raua ko Owens i muri i te kii o raua e kore e hiahiatia e raua tetahi ki tetahi, ana ka whakaekehia a Jericho e Rollins i te papa waka. I te 18 o Tihema, i hinga a Jericho ki a Rollins i muri i te kore o Owens i tana ngana ki te awhina i a ia, I muri mai i taua po, i whakaekea e Jericho a Owens kia kore ai a Reigns e wikitoria i te taitara. I muri i te kore o Jericho me Owens i wikitoria i te WWE United States Championship mai i Reigns i roto i nga whakataetae takitahi maha i te mutunga o te tau 2016, i whakawhiwhia e Jericho a Reigns i roto i te tukinga whakaraerae e uru ana ki a Owens i te waahanga o te Hanuere 9 o "Raw" ki te wikitoria i te WWE United States Championship. Na reira, i wikitoria a Jericho i tana toa tuatahi i roto i te tata ki te whitu tau, a ka riro ano ia hei toa Grand Slam i raro i te whakatakotoranga o naianei. I te mea he maha nga wa i uru atu ai ia ki nga tukinga a Owens, i whakairihia a Jericho ki runga ake i te mowhiti i roto i te whare herehere tiakarete i te wa o te tukinga a Reigns i te
Royal Rumble he hui utu-i-te-tirohanga. Heoi, i mau tonu a Owens i te toa i muri i te whakaekenga a Braun Strowman, i te whakamahi i te taapiri kaore i te whakakorea. I taua huihuinga ano, i uru a Jericho hei kaiuru tuarua i te tukinga Royal Rumble, neke atu i te haora te roa (na reira ka pakaru te rekoata me te wa nui atu i te rima haora) me te tuatoru ki te whakamutunga i mua i te whakakorea e Reigns.
