Chris Jericho and Roman Reigns feuded with one another in late 2016-17. The WWE legend dethroned Roman Reigns to capture the US title during a feud that also involved then-Universal Champion Kevin Owens.

Jericho is at a different stage of his career. The WWE chapter of his career seems to be fully behind him, and he is the first AEW World Champion in history. Right around the summer of 2021, the Winnipeg native was a guest on Keepin' It 100 with Konnan and Disco Inferno, and he couldn't help but state his admiration for his friend Reigns in and out of the ring:

Chris Jericho on Roman Reigns: "If you just drop the f**king script and just let him be him, he’s Cool Hand Luke. He’s like the coolest cat. He’s a f**king great guy. Just let him be him. That’s what he’s doing now, obviously with a heelish slant, which is great." [@K100Konnan]

"I haven't (watched) but I've been reading about it and it's no surprise," Chris Jericho said. "When I was there in 2016 and worked with Roman Reigns, basically all around the world when I was a heel and he was a babyface, I was like, 'there's no brainer here.' I always said this, and he's doing it now, if you just drop the f**king script and let him be him, he's cool-hand luke. He's like the coolest cat, a f**king great guy. Just let him be him."

Jericho previously called Reigns the "biggest babyface" outside of the ring, and their real-life chemistry came across during the latter's Talk is Jericho appearance a few years ago.

All in all, the veteran Chris Jericho seems to hold a good relationship with 'The Tribal Chief.'
