#3 More creative control

Chris Jericho is definitely one of the most creative Superstars in wrestling history.

Constantly evolving his character, Y2J has been everything from a cocky rookie, a beloved babyface, a methodical tactician, and a seasoned veteran.

Changing his look more in NJPW, the 48-year-old shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

But whilst he has been great in WWE, the company, and Jericho's history with them, has led to Y2J being shackled at times from being more creative.

Evidence of this being Jericho's time as IWGP Intercontinental Champion, where he explored face-paint, new costumes and pushing even more boundaries to entertain.

Now part of All Elite Wrestling, Jericho will have more creative control than ever before, as everyone who has ever supported him will be excited to see what he does next.
