7 times even hardcore WWE fans were fooled

#6 Chris Jericho as Sin Cara

Jericho disguised himself as an exuberant fan with a Sin Cara mask after being banned from ringside.

When rumors started appearing that Chris Jericho had been knocked out by Sin Cara in England in late 2016, Y2J was quick to debunk them.

Despite Jericho’s efforts though, the rumors gained a lot of traction, as both men had been involved in backstage altercations that year, with Sin Cara laying out Simon Gotch not long before, and Jericho standing up to Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam after the beast had bloodied Randy Orton.

Whilst what actually happened remains a mystery to the fans, Jericho’s response to the rumor is fondly remembered.

When Owens defended his Universal title against Seth Rollins on the November 21st 2016 edition of RAW, both men gave it their all for the gold.

Ultimately, the difference maker was a man from the crowd in a Sin Cara mask, who cost Rollins the match, and was very quickly revealed to be Jericho who had been banned from ringside earlier that night.

Though brief, Jericho’s donning of the mask was Y2J at his very best, being a subtle nod to smart fans, a shocking moment for casual fans and a big screw you to those fuelling rumors, all of this done in mere minutes.
