#8 Chris Jericho

WWE superstar Chris Jericho
This is all Chris Jericho had to do and he probably would have won this year

Chris Jericho has accomplished virtually everything possible in his WWE career at this point in the game. Barring the things he isn't eligible for like the Cruiserweight Championship, he's only missing a King of the Ring crown, a Money in the Bank briefcase, the new Universal Championship and a Royal Rumble victory.

This year should have been his year to cross that off the list, as a match against Kevin Owens for the Universal Championship would please so many fans and certainly deliver in terms of both the promos leading up to WrestleMania, as well as the in-ring work during the match itself.

Sadly, both this year and in 2012 when Sheamus was victorious, Jericho came up short. WWE has always been very fond of Sheamus and probably thought it was a better idea to go with a younger guy than a more established one, but in the years since, the script has been flipped and now, those who don't necessarily need the win get it.

Why he wasn't chosen to be the 2017 winner over Orton remains to be seen, but this was his best chance ever and it has slipped by once more.
