Possible Spoiler For WWE Payback

– This isn’t a sure indicator, so take it for what it’s worth. But Chris Jericho is believed to be unlikely to win the United States Championship back from Kevin Owens at WWE Payback due to his schedule. Jericho is only currently scheduled through Monday’s episode of Raw and then will go on tour with Fozzy throughout May with a couple of June festival dates as well.

It is certainly conceivable that WWE could book a post-match injury angle or have Jericho appear in pre-taped segments or the like, but he would miss at least three Smackdown tapings for certain due to his tour dates.
