Seth Rollins vs. Chris Jericho Announced for WWE Roadblock 2016

Seth Rollins and Chris Jericho will look to settle the score Dec. 18, as WWE announced Monday that they will meet in a match at Roadblock: End of the Line.

Rollins and Jericho have been feuding indirectly for months. After Triple H screwed him out of the WWE Universal Championship in favor of Kevin Owens, Rollins went after KO in multiple title matches.

While The Man came close to claiming the belt on several occasions, Y2J stopped him. In addition to interfering at Hell in a Cell on Oct. 30, Jericho dressed in a Sin Cara mask and jumped Rollins from ringside during a title match on Raw.

That cost Rollins the strap and sent him over the edge, as he attacked Jericho in the parking lot the following week.

The former architect of The Shield threw Jericho into vehicles and pedigreed him on the roof of a car.

That signaled the end of Rollins' Universal Championship pursuit, at least temporarily, as he was more interested in getting revenge on the Superstar who prevented him from achieving his goal.

Rollins and Jericho have had several matches against each other on Raw over the years, but Roadblock will mark their first clash in a pay-per-view singles contest.

With Rollins coming into his own as a face and Jericho arguably putting forth some of the best work of his career as a heel, the pieces are in place for a highly entertaining rivalry, both in terms of promo work and in-ring action.

Both Superstars look like top candidates to win January's Royal Rumble and challenge for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania in April, and the result of their match at Roadblock could determine who is better positioned to do so.
