5 Superstars whose return WWE run was more successful than their original run

#3 Chris Jericho (2007-2017)

This was Jericho at his very best.

Chris Jericho is a kind of superstar who comes only once every generation. In fact, no man has had more career resurgences in the history than Jericho, and he has only improved on all aspects with every passing year. In fact, Jericho has had so many returns to the WWE in the past decade that it becomes nearly impossible to realize that he is no longer a full-time wrestler in the WWE.

After a successful 4 year run with WCW, where he was one of the pioneers of the promotion's cruiserweight division and a key figure of the mid-card, Jericho arrived in WWF in 1999 to great pomp and shows. In less than 2 years after his debut, Jericho had won every singles title in the company except the World Title. The Invasion storyline, however, skyrocketed Jericho to superstardom.

He not only became a three-time World Champion, but he also became the first ever Undisputed Champion when he defeated both The Rock and Steve Austin on the same night. However, a disappointing reign and a lackluster feud with Triple H meant he stuck in the mid-card throughout his remaining tenure, feuding with Shawn Michaels and Christian, until his release in 2005.

After a 2-year break from wrestling, Jericho returned to the WWE and took the whole wrestling world by shock when he began a heartless villain. His feud with Shawn Michaels, Rey Mysterio and Edge turned him into the most hated man in the industry. Apart from doing some of the best in-ring work of his life, Jericho won 3 more World Titles, 2 more Intercontinental Titles and 2 reigns as Unified Tag Team Titles.

After a lengthy period of mediocre feuds, apart from that hot feud with CM Punk in 2012, Jericho reinvented his career again with the List of Jericho storyline, during which he won the United States Title twice and became one of the most loved characters in WWE again.
