AEW star Chris Jericho is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. He came from a generation of well-traveled technicians, having competed worldwide and winning championships in various promotions. However, before joining AEW, "Le Champion" was a mainstay in WWE.

He debuted in 1999, interrupting The Rock in one of the best WWE debuts of all time. He had unforgettable feuds with The Rock, Stone Cold, Triple H, Chris Benoit, and Shawn Michaels throughout the Attitude Era.

He holds the record for the most Intercontinental Championship reigns with nine. In one of his career highlights, he beat The Rock and Stone Cold on the same night on Vengeance 2001 to become the Undisputed Champion.

Jericho has been in and out of WWE a couple of times and reinvented his character constantly to stay ahead of the game. In this decade alone, he feuded with CM Punk and memorably teamed up with Kevin Owens.

While Jericho has not been in WWE for several years already, his legacy will always be tied to the company. Y2J is definitely a shoo-in to being a first-ballot WWE Hall of Famer despite his current association with AEW.
