Despite currently being in completely different situations, fans and everyone who worked with Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho still fondly recall their antics from when they were once the best of friends in the WWE. The on-screen alliance between Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho resulted in on-screen success for both men, with Jericho winning the US Title and Owens holding the Universal Championship. The List of Jericho was used throughout the partnership, and the disastrous Festival of Friendship saw Kevin Owens brutally turn against his best buddy.
WWE commentator Mike Rome revealed an encounter with Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens at their prime that left him with a bloodied tongue as he struggled to contain his laughter on the Out of Character podcast. “Yeah, I think the Jericho stuff was always good. Definitely the stuff that Jericho and Tom did, the main stuff that he did for a long time but one of my favorites, and it was the hardest one not to laugh on. It was after KO and Jericho both got titles, I think they had individual titles but they were backstage, I was interviewing them afterwards and they kick me out of the frame.”
“They’re going back and forth and Kevin starts yelling, ‘George! George!’, and he’s looking at me and they’re like ‘I think you’re George’. I’m 6’2, so when I’m backstage, I’m a lot shorter, so I had to walk back into frame because there was no easy way for me to slide back into frame.”

“I kind of side-walked into there, you can see me kind of leaning to the side. Kevin, he’s going back and forth with Chris, all of the sudden he just looks at me, ‘Did you get taller?’ and he starts just going in on me, they start stepping on the steps in Gorilla and he’s karate chopping and at this point, I’ve bitten holes in my tongue because doing backstages with them, it’s so hard not to laugh because you don’t know what they are going to say. You have no idea what’s coming out, these guys are two of the best and I walked out of there with a bleeding tongue that day.” Rome revealed.
