I've never been a babyface world champion ever. Before he started 'The List of Jericho,' Chris Jericho was filling out a much different list as one of the most decorated competitors on the planet.
One of the original plans from Vince's (McMahon) mouth to my ears directly was the main event of WrestleMania, was going to be Jericho vs Owens for the world title, and Jericho wins the title, for the first time ever as a babyface. So you mentioned Kevin Owens and Jericho and we had the best story on the show for months. This was a play on the Y2K bug, which was a discrepancy or disparity in the shift of calendars to the new millennium for computers. He interrupted The Rock during a promo and iconically greeted everyone to ‘Raw is Jericho’, calling himself Y2J. "I've been working in this business for a long time. The most famous Jericho nickname originated when he debuted for WWE back on August 9, 1999. "There's no bitterness when I tell this story or no anger it's just the way it is," Jericho explained. Two years since he signed with the new promotion, the likes of CM Punk, Bryan Danielson and Adam Cole have all joined the AEW. The plan called for Jericho to win his first world championship as a babyface. Chris Jericho was the first big name from WWE to hop on the AEW train. Jericho revealed that the initial plan was for him and Owens to face off in the main event of WrestleMania 33. His final run with the WWE ended on a frustrating note, and if it weren't for a questionable booking decision, things could have been a lot different in the wrestling world.ĭuring an interview with Inside The Ropes (h/t Nishant Jayaram of Sportskeeda), Jericho revealed that WWE's booking of his WrestleMania 33 match with Kevin Owens was a key factor in his decision to leave the company.
