Top 5 WWE superstars with the most Intercontinental Title reigns

#1 Chris Jericho (9 reigns)

Chris Jericho - Holds the record for most Intercontinental Championship reigns

No one has won more Intercontinental Championships than Chris Jericho.

The title is synonymous with him and likewise, he is synonymous with it.

The first of Jericho's title victories came way back in December 1999 when he ended the reign of the first and only female IC Champion in history, Chyna after he forced her to submit to the Walls of Jericho.

Jericho traded the belt throughout the year 2000 with Chris Benoit highlighted by a Ladder Match at the 2001 Royal Rumble wherein he won his fourth IC belt.

After a brief period as a headliner and World Champion, Jericho returned to the mid-card and won his fifth title in September 2002.

On October 28, 2003, Jericho won and lost the IC Championship from and to Rob Van Dam on a memorable episode of Raw.

Jericho's final IC Championship reign occurred in 2009, when he defeated Rey Mysterio in an incredible No Holds Barred Match at Extreme Rules. He dropped the title in an even more thrilling Mask vs Hair match at The Bash on June 28.

Perhaps one day Jericho will return to WWE and add a 10th reign to his CV.
