His promo skills were almost always on display for the crowd and the WWE never hesitated to put him in spots where they could utilize him in improving the storytelling. One such incident occured on the April 17th episode of Monday Night Raw. Triple H and Stephanie were playing one of their many power couple storylines and were confronted by Jericho. A war of words ensued eventually leading up to a WWE title match between the Champion, Triple H and Y2J.

During the course of the match, the referee Earl Hebner was repeatedly bullied and humiliated by Triple H. As a result, Earl Hebner made a quick count during one of Jericho's attempted pins and gave the win and the title to Jericho. As per the storyline, Triple H eventually pressured Earl Hebner into reversing his decision and the title change. As a result, this reign of Chris Jericho is not officially recognized by the WWE.
