What can be said about Chris Jericho that hasn't been said before? The one word that best describes this former WWE Champion is winner. Jericho's title reigns have been extensive both inside and outside the company.

He was even a former IWGP Intercontinental Champion. Jericho is also a WWE Grand Slam Champion and each of the titles he has held has been of great value and distinction. He is also the first-ever Undisputed WWE Champion defeating The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin on the same evening.

Jericho's championship success carried over when he joined AEW. At All Out 2019, he became the inaugural AEW World Heavyweight Champion. In the main event, "Le Champion" defeated "Hangman" Adam Page to become the champion.

He went on to successfully retain the title in his defense against Cody. Jericho held the title until this past February when he lost to current champion Jon Moxley at AEW Revolution. To date, Jericho remains a crucial figure in the WWE NXT and AEW Wednesday Night Wars.
