Vengeance 2001 was one of Chris Jericho's best nights in WWE

Unlike the other statistical records on this list, this one is merely based on a pretty cool fact: Chris Jericho is the only person to defeat The Rock and Steve Austin in separate matches on the same show.

In a four-man tournament to crown the first Undisputed champion, Y2J won the World Championship from The Rock in the penultimate match on the Vengeance 2001 PPV, setting up a unification main event against Austin, who defeated Kurt Angle earlier in the night.

With Jericho’s World Championship and Austin’s WWE Championship on the line, “The Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla” was able to defeat “The Texas Rattlesnake”, largely thanks to interference from Booker T, to win the Undisputed title.
