Chris Jericho Scheduled to Work As A Heel at Upcoming WWE SmackDown, Possible Feud Set?

January 15, 2016

On Chris Jericho’s “Talk is Jericho” podcast, he confirmed that his announced entry into this year’s Royal Rumble would not just be a one-shot deal, and he plans on staying around for another extended run.

Regarding his future in this particular stint, we may see a heel turn from Jericho in the near future. WWE announced through a local email blast that Jericho will be teaming with Sheamus to go against Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose at SmackDown this coming Tuesday in Dayton, OH.

While this will most likely be a dark match, it may also be planting seeds for a potential Jericho vs. Ambrose feud leading to WrestleMania, after rumblings of the two possibly feuding after the outcome at last year’s Night of Champions pay per view.
