The first Undisputed Champion

Leave it to Chris Jericho to come up with a nickname like ‘The Ayatollah of Rock ’N’ Rolla’ for himself. And, only someone as talented as Jericho could pull it off. Jericho has a number of nicknames, but this Mad Max-inspired nickname stuck with him throughout his career. Jericho rose in WCW’s Cruiserweight division where he made a name for himself before debuting in WWE with his equally famous Y2J moniker.

Jericho is one of the most decorated WWE Superstars of all time and a surefire future Hall of Famer. He was the first WWE Undisputed Champion, a three-time World Heavyweight Champion, a 9-time Intercontinental Champion and a multiple time tag team champion. He was also the fourth person to complete the Grand Slam, the first being Shawn Michaels.
