In an attempt to find the new face that joins The Authority's camp, Hunter appeared on Raw and handed over the WWE Universal title to Kevin Owens. Here's a recap for you:
The Landscape today
Kevin Owens and Y2J developed quite the bond and it looked like bromance was brewing between them but as they say, all good things must come to an end, and so it did as KO took out Y2J on Feb 13 episode of RAW when they were celebrating their friendship.
This definitely makes me feel that there's something amazing brewing up.
According to many media reports, Hunter is trying to build up another 'Evolution' with his assistants being replaced from Batista and Randy Orton to Samoa Joe and KO, but will the construction be done without the architect?
What happens next?
I am confident that after what KO did to Jericho and how Seth was assaulted by Samoa Joe, expect these two powerhouses to join forces at Fastlane and beat the hell out of the new evolution that is still trying to shape up.
With Jericho in almost his last run within WWE, it is definite that he would like to leave with a lasting impression.
My Speculations:
Jericho vs KO:

1)
Winner takes it all: Jericho would go after KO and it would be a match where winner takes all. The major reason why I believe that this is a possibility, as both best friends turned bitter rivals have championship gold with them and to settle the feud and ensure who is the best of the two, this would be a great match to begin with.
In my estimation, making KO win will be best for business as of this moment, as Jericho has already achieved everything that WWE has to offer and has been cutting great promos. When he looses the titles, he could become more effective as a heel.
On the contrary, with KO joining The Authority, it should turn out to be a great angle as Hunter and Stephanie along with Jericho will heat things up.
2)
Loser retires
It would definitely be a great match and probably the last match for Jericho. He has been on a great roll every time he came and has definitely got the ratings roll up.

While a lot of them will be expecting to see Jericho win, making him loose will be a good business angle.
3)
Seth challenges Hunter
Now, this doesn't need any special introduction. This has been on the cards since last year and was delayed due to Rollins's injury.
However, ever since he returned, he got everyone on their feet as their wish of seeing a HHH-Seth match was about to become a reality.

The way Seth pulled off that angle after HHH cost him the WWE title during the fatal four way match on Raw back in August was amazing. It is just a matter of time before we see Seth return probably at Fastlane to attack Hunter and fuel this feud to turn it into one of the most talked about match at The Grandest stage of them all.
In my estimation, Samoa Joe will already be involved in an angle and might not be so important to this feud at Wrestlemania. Although, he happens to be a great addition to the RAW roster and will definitely have great storylines up his sleeves, but getting him involved at Wrestlemania would ruin the beauty of the feud between The Architect and The Game.
Expect some amazing fireworks on the Raw brand in the weeks to come.
