Roadblock: End of the Line is an upcoming professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event and WWE Network event produced by WWE for the Raw brand. It will take place on December 18, 2016, at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.[2][3] This will be the second event under the Roadblock chronology, but this will be the first event also on pay-per-view.
Background
The card will include matches resulting from scripted storylines and have results predetermined by WWE on the Raw brand, one of WWE's two brand divisions.[4][5] Storylines are produced on WWE's weekly television shows Raw and 205 Live.[6]
After being part of Team Raw's losing effort against Team SmackDown at Survivor Series,[7] Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens got into a heated argument during Jericho's Highlight Reel on Raw. Jericho blamed Owens for using "The List of Jericho" as a weapon, whereas Owens explained that he tried to save Jericho from being eliminated. The two finally agreed that Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins were at fault for the loss. Rollins then received an opportunity at Owens's WWE Universal Championship in a no disqualification match with both Reigns and Jericho banned from ringside. Jericho, disguised as a masked fan, interfered, allowing Owens to capitalize and retain the championship.[8] The following week, the friendship between Owens and Jericho was strained further, when Owens stated he did not need Jericho's help against the challenge of Roman Reigns. On his way out of the arena, Jericho was attacked by Rollins while Reigns defeated Owens to earn a title match for the Universal Championship at Roadblock.[9]
