Jericho asks Owens why he and Zayn don’t have a name for their current tag team in WWE. Owens informs that he hates when two solo competitors pair up and call themselves a silly team name. For this reason, he absolutely hated the JeriKO moniker that was labeled on him and Jericho during their tag team run last year.

Jericho hates those types of nicknames as well, and he particularly hated the “JeriShow” nickname that was used when he teamed with Big Show many years ago. He actually told Big Show to never use that name in promos because he hated it so much.

Zayn admits that he’s had some difficulty transitioning from a babyface to a heel. He doesn’t look like Brock Lesnar or Braun Strowman but he still wants to be in contention for the WWE Title at some point. In order to do that he knows that he needs to be mouthy, annoying heel; the type of heel fans want to see get beat up

Zayn admits that he doesn’t really know what Vince McMahon thinks about him. He’s had a couple of conversations with McMahon, but they don’t have a strong personal relationship. He adds that part of that is his fault, because he should be pursuing that relationship more actively.
