Owens says they should take a moment to tell everyone what they are thankful for. Owens is thankful for many things but not least of all he is thankful for his best friend Chris Jericho. Jericho also says he is thankful that Owens is his best friend. Jericho says he is also thankful for his sweet scarf and for Seth Rollins. Why? Because Rollins showed him what it looks like to be a slave to your pride. Rollins also showed what it means to be a stupid idiot.
