The following week, the friendship between Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho was disrupted, when Owens stated he did not need Jericho's help against the challenge of Roman Reigns. Jericho, disguised as a masked fan, interfered nonetheless, allowing Owens to capitalize and retain the championship. Both Jericho, who had repeatedly interfered in Owens's title defenses and cost Rollins the Universal title, and Reigns were banned from ringside. The same night, as a reward for having joined Team Raw, Rollins received another opportunity at Owens's WWE Universal Championship in a no disqualification match. The two finally agreed that Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins were at fault for the loss. Jericho blamed Owens for using "The List of Jericho" as a weapon, whereas Owens explained that he tried to save Jericho from being eliminated. Īfter being part of Team Raw's losing effort against Team SmackDown at Survivor Series, Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens got into a heated argument during Jericho's Highlight Reel on Raw.
Storylines were produced on WWE's weekly television shows Monday Night Raw and 205 Live, the latter of which is cruiserweight-exclusive.

The card included seven matches, including one on the Kickoff pre-show, that resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches, with results predetermined by WWE's writers on the Raw brand.
This second Roadblock event was titled Roadblock: End of the Line due to it being WWE's final PPV of the year. The Roadblock name was in turn reused for the Raw-exclusive December PPV and WWE Network event, which was held on December 18, 2016, at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The name was a reference to its position on the "Road to WrestleMania." Following the reintroduction of the brand extension in July, where the promotion again split its main roster into two separate brands called Raw and SmackDown where wrestlers were exclusively assigned to perform, the promotion brought back brand-exclusive pay-per-views (PPV). In March 2016, WWE held an event titled Roadblock, which was originally a house show that was turned into a WWE Network-exclusive event to further build towards WrestleMania 32. Other prominent matches included the team of Cesaro and Sheamus defeating The New Day ( Big E and Kofi Kingston) for the Raw Tag Team Championship, ending New Day's record setting reign at 483 days, Rich Swann retaining the WWE Cruiserweight Championship against The Brian Kendrick and TJ Perkins, Seth Rollins defeating Chris Jericho, and Charlotte Flair defeating Sasha Banks in overtime of a 30-minute Iron Man match to win her record fourth Raw Women's Championship. In the main event, WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens retained the title against United States Champion Roman Reigns by disqualification when Chris Jericho attacked Owens. Seven matches were contested at the event, including one match on the Kickoff pre-show. This was the final Roadblock until 2022 when WWE revived the event as a television special for the NXT brand. The name of the event was a reference to it being WWE's final PPV of 2016. It took place on December 18, 2016, at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. While the first Roadblock aired exclusively on the WWE Network as a WWE Network-only pay-per-view (PPV), this second event also aired via traditional pay-per-view (PPV) outlets. It was held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw brand division.
