Winning the United States championship was sweet for Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens, but their elation wouldn’t last long. Soon after RAW went off the air, the duo were met with a loud gong that brought out the Undertaker, who just earlier in the night had dropped a bombshell on the WWE universe when he announced that he would be competing in the 2017 Royal Rumble.
As Owens and Jericho were singing “We Are The Champions,” Taker hit the ring and put the rest of the WWE roster on notice by taking out both RAW champions; including a thunderous choke slam to Kevin Owens!
