#1. Former AEW World Champion Chris Jericho is good friends with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson
Arguably the biggest moment of AEW star Chris Jericho’s career came in 199 when he debuted in WWE by interrupting Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.
Since then, Jericho has become a household name in the sports entertainment industry and had a good run in WWE and AEW. Y2J and The Rock had some memorable rivalries on-screen during their time together.
Outside the ring, the two men are good friends. In an Instagram video, The Rock recalled when he headlined a show in Hawaii with 'Le Champion.'
"We went to Hawaii, and I wrestled a guy by the name of Chris Jericho, a very good buddy of mine today, and I gotta tell you guys, I've had the honor and the privilege. I've been a lucky son of a b--ch to have the career that I've had in professional wrestling. I've wrestled around the world in very major arena in this country, every major arena around the world, and the most meaningful match I've ever had was to go back to Hawaii at the Blaisdell Center in the main event. Sold it out by the way. Faster than Elvis did. I'm just saying," said The Rock
The Rock and Jericho have managed to stay friends even though they’re far from WWE now. Y2J will likely retire in AEW, while The Rock might only return for a few WWE matches before hanging up his boots.
