It would actually be some fun storyline fuel as he goes after Styles again, before clicking that pin and turning on his best friend...
Or who knows, maybe he never planned to turn on his best friend & they just fooled us.
Finn comes back, tries to get the Title shot at WM & is entered into the RR by Foley after KO screws him out of a qualifying match.
KO: "No... no that's not fair... that wasn't the deal, he already had his shot Mick, & he blew it"
**HHH comes out: "Fine Foley you want to play that way... Balor if you win, you get your title shot but KO, you WILL be IN the RR & for the first time ever, if you win, you get to choose who your opponent is at WM"
RR, 5 guys left in the ring... Roman, Balor, KO, Zayne, Seth
Everybody gets up & regains composure... KO in 1 corner, the rest in another & then KO realizes while all 5 guys are staring at him that they all hate him. Obviously they all gang up on him & almost eliminate him until HHH comes out of no where with a sledge hammer to Roman's face, & then everyone else as well.
HHH & KO throw Seth & Roman both out **Crowd pops! Foley runs down with a barbwire bat & beats HHH, points at the screen as the clock begins counting down from 30 for the 30th entrant.
Countdown clock gets to 10 seconds & switches to Jericho's entrance clock & KO can't believe it.
Y2J comes to the ring as Foley, Seth & Roman watch & stand guard over HHH
JBL - WELL THIS IS HARDLY FAIR!! ...That idiot Foley isn't even in the match!! ....All of these men hate him, this is a conspiracy!!
While KO is staring at Jericho, Zayne tries to capitalize & eliminate KO but gets eliminated himself in the process. KO puts his finger to his head like he's smart & he knew Zayne was gonna do that but Y2J runs in behind him and knocks him down, beating on him in a rage. Eventually Jericho eliminates KO.
Y2J & Balor left... Jericho extends his hand & Finn shakes it.
Fast Forward after a bunch of close calls, Finn's on the top about to hit the double stomp on Jericho. KO pulls his leg & he face plants... KO gets in & picks Balor up for the power bomb as the rest try to run in & help but it's too late... KO powerbombs Finn over the top onto Seth & Roman.
KO & Jericho rejoice & celebrate: "WE WON THE ROYAL RUMBLE... WE'RE BEST FRIENDS!!!"
KO grabs a mic: "You all thought you could use jealousy to split us up but we're smarter than you. You all said I was jealous of Jericho but look, look what I gave up for my best friend! ...And I know what all of you are thinking. I have to face my best friend at WM but here's the thing" **Gives mic to Jericho
Jericho - AJ Styles... you're not the best. I am the best in the world at what I do & my best friend Kevin Owens is the best at what he does... because we're best friends ...& at WM we will prove it to all of you by walking out with all the gold & owning this business. We're smarter than all of you which is exactly why we created this master plan... and you all fell for it
...because you're all a bunch of stupid idiots ***spikes the mic
RAW, Seth, Roman & Finn get put in an EC match to see who the #1 contender is for the Universal since they were all screwed over at the RR.
