Chris Jericho and Universal champion Kevin Owens managed to keep their friendship intact on Monday night despite an early scare -- and all was well for WWEs flagship brand because of it.This weeks episode of Raw, from Torontos Air Canada Centre, never quite built upon the buzz of an enthralling Survivor Series pay-per-view card just 24 hours earlier in the same building. But it featured just enough bells and whistles -- including a thrilling conclusion to the main event -- to cover the sins of predictability and inconsistency that has plagued the show in recent months.Sometimes its the final taste that is left in the mouth of viewers that best decides whether a grueling three-plus hour broadcast was a success. And the main event of Owens and Seth Rollins in a no-disqualification match more than delivered, thanks in part to Jerichos eleventh hour involvement.One night after Goldberg shocked the WWE Universe by defeating Brock Lesnar in 86 seconds, the 49-year-old opened Raw with a special announcement that he would continue his comeback by entering the Royal Rumble on Jan. 29 in San Antonio.At the Royal Rumble match, everyone is next, said Goldberg, who earlier implied that he has one more title run left in him.But make no mistake -- despite Goldbergs breaking news, this was an episode largely dominated by Jericho, who continues to turn just about every gimmick or storyline he touches into gold during his career renaissance at age 46.Jericho, who spent the majority of his youth in Canada, received the largest pop from the crowd. He began the night with a comedic bang. During a backstage interview with Charly Caruso, he made a deadpan reference to her as Charles, which was a sly nod to multiple Raw interviews in recent months with Tom Phillips, where Jericho and Owens routinely called him by the wrong name.He also showcased his acting chops while hosting a Highlight Reel segment early in the show. After calling out Owens for costing Team Raw in their Survivor Series loss to SmackDown Live on Sunday, both superstars appeared on the verge of turning on each other for good.Owens looked ready to get physical as he grabbed Jericho and spun him around before exclaiming, Ill tell you whose fault it is ... But before he could finish his sentence by naming Jericho, the two superstars looked at each other and simultaneously screamed Roman Reigns! before coming together for an epic bro hug.Whos fault is it for Team #RAW losing at #SurvivorSeries? ROMAN REIGNS! @FightOwensFight @IAmJericho pic.twitter.com/FdsNBdZ2RK- WWE Universe (@WWEUniverse) November 22, 2016This was about as delightfully cheesy a moment as Jericho and Owens have had in their on-screen friendship, and they walked the tightrope perfectly by creating legitimate suspense that their union was finished without delving too far into the ridiculous (despite veering close).But Jericho, who was banned from ringside along with Reigns by Raw general manager Mick Foley for the main event, enjoyed his finest moment in the closing minutes of the broadcast. With Owens and Rollins brawling outside the ring, Jericho emerged from the crowd dressed in a Shinsuke Nakamura T-shirt and Sin Cara mask to attack Rollins.The choice of mask was an ironic one considering Jericho was rumored to have engaged in a real-life backstage altercation with Sin Cara during the WWEs European tour earlier this month. And his involvement in the title match directly affected the outcome.Rollins initially fought Jericho off and unmasked him before connecting on a Pedigree onto the arena floor. But Owens took advantage of the distraction by stepping in to land a super kick and instantly followed up with a powerbomb of Rollins onto the ring apron. Owens then rolled Rollins into the ring and getting the pinfall.The exciting finish put a proper bow on what was an entertaining main event, which also featured the use of chairs and tables, along with Owens and Rollins brawling throughout the crowd (which helped make up for a gratuitous amount of commercials early on). But the ending produced a feeling of déjà vu, just the same.Jerichos interference in the title match at the expense of Rollins was essentially the same finish that was used at both Night of Champions in September and Hell in a Cell last month. In fact, its the same outcome we have seen on Raw in various forms ever since Owens won the title on Aug. 29.On one hand, thats how you properly book a heel, creating enough heat to lay the groundwork for the babyface to complete his chase and finally overcome the villain. On the other hand, it feels like the same story each week, just with different dialogue.Luckily for Raw, the combination of Jericho and Owens are able to deliver said dialogue at such an incredibly high level, often proving to be the highlight of the episode. This week was no different.Hits and missesGoldberg entered the arena to an explosion of cheers on Monday, with the crowd chanting his name throughout his strong opening promo. Its hard to find any fault with his appearance, especially with how much excitement his Royal Rumble announcement adds to the match as the WWE attempts to sell out the Alamodome. But considering how much of a shock Goldbergs squash match victory was the night before in his first match since 2004, it was disappointing not to hear from Lesnar or Paul Heyman in any form. The reality of Lesnars part-time contract certainly limits the amount of dates he can appear, and its clear that WWE has plans to slow-play the feud through January (if not all the way to WrestleMania 33 in April). That said, Goldbergs victory was truly a moment, posing plenty of storyline questions that need answering about Lesnars reaction.Is it just me, or is the New Day starting to tease a turn back to their old heel ways following another outright title defense in which they cheated to win -- this time against the team of Cesaro and Sheamus? Keep a close eye on this development as they close in on Demolitions record for longest reign by a tag team champion.Credit Raw for continuing the push of Braun Strowmans monstrous physicality, which included an outright brutal victory over Sami Zayn. The added wrinkle of Mick Foley being forced to stop the bout as a lifeless Zayn was unable to protect himself was an effective one, causing a hush from the crowd as Strowman delivered the savage and realistic looking attack. Depending upon how well Strowman can do in a major title push, the WWE may end up getting but one chance to present him as unbeatable. So far, the big man has responded well.Is anyone else as confused by the booking in the Raw womens division as I am? Lets recap: Charlotte defeats Sasha Banks in an instant classic for the Raw womens championship at Hell in a Cell on Oct. 30, only to seemingly abandon their rivalry the next day to set up for Survivor Series. Charlotte then blindsides her Raw teammate Bayley at Sundays PPV to plant the seeds for their feud. One night later, however, Charlotte accepts a title defense against Banks for next week, only to then tap out to Banks submission move minutes later during an impromptu tag-team match. Where are we right now?Move of the nightRollins continues to push the envelope on Raw when it comes to high spots, including the time he jumped off the top of the cage on Sept. 19 onto both Owens and Jericho. And he came through with another one on Monday while brawling in the crowd with Owens. After escaping a powerbomb attempt by grabbing onto a railing and climbing up to the next level of seats above his head, Rollins soared on top of Owens in spectacular fashion.INCOMING!!!!!! #RAW #UniversalChampionship @WWERollins @FightOwensFight pic.twitter.com/X0ZL49vi1W- WWE (@WWE) November 22, 2016Line of the nightIt wasnt quite a full return to the Attitude Era, but Enzo Amores backstage segment in which he walked around nude after getting locked out of the dressing room was high comedy and pushed the boundaries of WWEs current PG product. There were a number of memorable lines, from the Shining Stars rehashing their timeshare gimmick by telling him they have a special resort for people just like you, to Titus ONeil adding his two cents by saying, Man, put some clothes on. Youll probably end up in human resources. But Amore take top honors for his response to Primo and Epico, when he countered with, No thank you, but you put a picture of this in your brochure [and] you will probably sell more.

TORONTO -- When the United States filled out its roster for the World Cup of Hockey, it looked heavy on grit and physicality and light on skill and scoring.That became reality in the Americans stunning 3-0 loss to unheralded Team Europe on Saturday in the World Cup opener. With offensive defenseman Dustin Byfuglien and 30-goal scorer Kyle Palmieri scratched, the U.S. struggled to generate quality scoring chances and finds itself in trouble one game into the tournament.It was just tough to score, winger Zach Parise said. There are guys that have different roles and different jobs on the team. Guys that play with grit, play hard -- but it was just tough to score for us tonight.Jaroslav Halak stopped all 35 shots he faced to earn the shutout for Team Europe, a mix of players from Slovakia, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Norway, Denmark, France and Slovenia. Marian Gaborik, Leon Draisaitl and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare scored on U.S. goaltender Jonathan Quick, who made 14 saves.Despite the lopsided shot total and the Americans dominant puck possession, Europe was in control for most of the game because of major mistakes. Defenseman Ryan McDonagh made an ill-advised pinch to set up a 2-on-1 rush that led to Gaboriks goal, and Hart Trophy winner Patrick Kane turned the puck over to give Europe a 2-on-0 rush that led to Draisaitls goal.You saw on a couple of our mistakes -- turnovers, pinching, giving them odd-man breaks -- they were able to capitalize, Kane said. On that second goal, Ill definitely take the fault on that one. Thats a play that Ive made a million times in my career. Just kind of lost the puck, and the next thing you know they go down 2 on 0. Thats unacceptable from me.It was an unacceptable performance for the U.S., which now has been shut out in three consecutive major international tournament games dating to the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Leaving skilled players such as?Tyler Johnson and Kyle Okposo off the roster sparked plenty of second-guessing of the U.S. management team, and that criticism wont slow down after losing to Team Europe.Defenseman Ryan Suter called Sochi a setback, and the first game of the World Cup wasnt a step forward.If you go back nine (international) perioods where you dont get anything, its frustrating but weve had some looks along the way, captain Joe Pavelski said.dddddddddddd We had the power plays, we had some chances, we had a few looks. Weve got to strike when we get those.The U.S. had a power-play goal disallowed when James van Riemsdyk was ruled to have intentionally directed the puck in with his chest. Coach John Tortorella believed it should have been a goal because the puck went off Derek Stepans helmet, but the NHL explained it had no bearing and the goal should not count.Tortorella defended his decision to sit Byfuglien and Palmieri, saying this was what the coaching staff believed was the best lineup. The result didnt prove that, and the top offensive players accepted responsibility for not being sharp enough.Europe coach Ralph Krueger knew his team had to play a perfect game to beat the U.S. Captain Anze Kopitar called this a boring game, but it got the job done; Europe made good on Kruegers pledge that the team was ready to look America in the eyes.That belief extended to the locker room, even if beating the U.S. looked shocking from the outside.From the outside, we got stamped up as the underdog here, Draisaitl said. I think we all understand that, but at the same time, we have some really good players on our team as well. A lot of experience. A big win for us.For Europe, it was a long way from blowout losses to the 23-and-under Team North America in exhibition play. Krueger emphasized that the Europeans werent satisfied to play one strong game.We didnt see ourselves as just a sideshow, ever, Krueger said. Weve come here to play nine periods and like everybody else we want to play next weekend.To advance to play next weekend in the semifinals, the U.S. must either beat favored Canada on Tuesday or hope for a miracle elsewhere in Group A. With only three games of round-robin play, a regulation loss is a significant blow.Weve put ourselves in a spot now were chasing, Tortorella said. Were chasing the tournament. Its a spot we didnt want to be in. Its a very dangerous spot, but we are here.
