SMACKDOWN LIVE Jericho and Owens square off in WWE Payback rematch for United States Title
This past Sunday at WWE Payback, Chris Jericho got retribution for his defeat at the hands of Kevin Owens at WrestleMania, beating The New Face of America to reclaim the United States Championship and become an official member of the SmackDown LIVE roster. Jericho’s first night on Team Blue will be a tough one, as he will defend his newly won title against Owens in a rematch from WWE Payback. The story of Jericho and Owens’ friends-turned-enemies is long and bitter. What will happen when the latest chapter is written on SmackDown LIVE? Naomi & Charlotte try to break up the welcoming committee
Since Charlotte’s SmackDown arrival in the Superstar Shake-up, many of the other members of Team Blue’s women’s division have expressed their frustration with The Queen’s rapid ascent to a title match against reigning SmackDown Women’s Champion Naomi. Natalya, Carmella and Tamina took out those frustrations last week, interrupting a title match between Charlotte and Naomi and viciously attacking both Superstars, though most of their fury was directed toward the newcomer. Opponents a week ago, Charlotte and Naomi are joining forces this week to take on Natalya and Carmella in tag team action. Will the “welcoming committee” continue their path of destruction, or will the SmackDown Women’s Champion and The Queen show why they’re worthy of the top spots? Will Orton be looking for payback on Mahal?Though Jinder Mahal ambushed him last Tuesday and stole the WWE Championship, Randy Orton was laser-focused on his House of Horrors Match at WWE Payback with Bray Wyatt. Orton survived the horrific home assault by The Eater of Worlds and made his way back to the arena, but The Viper could not escape the wrath of Mahal and The Singh Brothers. Samir & Sunil Singh blindsided Orton, opening the door for The Maharaja to sneak up on The Apex Predator and clobber him with the WWE Championship. That allowed Wyatt to pin Orton and leave WWE Payback with a victory. Will Mahal feel the wrath of a furious Viper on SmackDown LIVE? How will Breezango follow up on their huge victory?
Tyler Breeze & Fandango stunned the WWE Universe when they achieved the fastest time in the first-ever Tag Team Beat the Clock Challenge, earning themselves a SmackDown Tag Team Title opportunity at WWE Backlash against The Usos The Fashion Police were “showboating and peacocking” after their big victory, then got a little weird with JBL on Talking Smack. Breezango seems to be riding high with less than three weeks to go until their championship showdown. Will they continue to be confident in the face of the ruthless Usos?

Wait, isn't Owens back on Raw? They're doing such a bad job at explaining the brand extention I honestly think they make it up as they go along.

so do they do the cheesy "owens baits jericho into a career vs title" match? or does jericho lose and owens "injures" him?
im wondering how they plan to write jericho off TV and have him drop the title he just won

So, does Jericho drop it to Owens tonight... or to Owens/AJ at Backlash in a Triple Threat match? Or does Owens take out Jericho tonight and the Backlash match is for a vacated championship?

Owens likely gets the belt back tonight as Jericho is going back to Fozzy.

I'm actually hoping Jericho retains tonight and drops it to someone else. Like Corbin, Ziggler, Harper, Zayn, Dillinger... Styles and Owens should be in the main event scene.

I remember that also happened back in 2013 after Raw ended (the one where Seattle hijacked the Championship Ascension Ceremoney). It was the whole Wyatt Family that time though and the entire crowd was like "WTF?!" Hilarious stuff.

I'm not counting out the idea that Styles ends up in that match tonight and wins the US Title. Triple threat, AJ pins Jericho, Owens blames Jericho for losing, Owens attacks Jericho, Jericho is out of the picture, Owens is owed a rematch for the title because he was never pinned and the former champion can't compete.
Otherwise, why wouldn't they have just let Owens beat Jericho at Payback? Seems like a lot of work to get the end result they could have had two days ago without a title change. I could definitely see a loser leaves town scenario but Jericho did that once already with Ziggler. Jericho is pretty self aware to do the same thing twice like that imo. I'm curious to see what they do if for no other reason than I don't get why Jericho won the title at all since we know he's leaving.

I guess if they're gonna go down the 48 hour title reign, the reason would just be to get Jericho on Smackdown and add a bit of star power when he comes back.
