Owens dropped the United States Championship to Chris Jericho at Payback and says things are not going to end well for whoever his opponents are tonight and tomorrow in Fresno.
What happened last night is disgusting and unfair. Jericho let his inner U.S. citizen side take over and cheated to steal my title. @WWE

I genuinely feel bad for whoever stands in my way tonight in Stockton and tomorrow in Fresno at the #SDLive events. It won't end well. @WWE
