Chris Jericho has been in the pro wrestling industry since 1990 and has had memorable runs during his time in WCW and WWE. In 2019, Jericho was one of the first signings for AEW, a company that had just been established. He went on to become the first World Champion in the promotion and is still an active member on the roster.

Meanwhile, Jericho recollected one of the most memorable moments of his wrestling career. On an episode of RAW back in 1999, Y2J made his blockbuster WWE debut after already making his name in WCW. Jericho interrupted The Rock in Chicago on his debut and went on to become one of the legends in the world's biggest wrestling promotion. Taking to his Instagram handle, Jericho shared a clip of his WWE debut from 1999, as it's been exactly 26 years since the moment took place. He also wrote the following in his post:
