The team of Samoa Joe and Kevin Owens proved to be too much for Sami Zayn and Chris Jericho tonight on RAW.
While it seemed we might get a classic tag team bout between Jericho and the former Ring of Honor superstars, Owens and Joe were clearly only interested in inflicting pain on the RAW babyfaces, as they got themselves disqualified for beating down Sami Zayn.

After a two on one beatdown on Zayn was interrupted by Jericho, Y2J nearly had his former friend locked in the Walls of Jericho. Joe was quick to make his way back into the ring to start lay waste to Jericho. Triple H’s henchmen would continue their attack until it was finished off a pop-up powerbomb.
