The night in question took place at the Vengeance 2001 show. With both the WWE and WCW Championship belts scheduled to be unified, Jericho first took down The Rock and held the WCW Title. He then faced the WWE champion Stone Cold Steve Austin.
After a grueling match, the Wizard was able to take the win over Austin as well, cementing his status as one of the greatest pro wrestlers by unifying the two World Titles.

As of now, Chris Jericho's status has certainly benefitted AEW by legitimizing the Promotion during its early years.
It remains to be seen how much more he will contribute to Tony Khan's promotion in the future, and whether his legacy in AEW will surpass that of his previous work.

A fan of pro wrestling since childhood, Shubhajit decided to start creating content on the sport out of passion. Before covering a piece of news or rumor, he conducts thorough research, ensuring information in his work is reliable and completely accurate.
Although Shubhajit admires numerous pro wrestlers, his current favorite is WWE superstar Drew McIntyre. He is fond of The Scottish Warrior’s character work and innovative quips.
If there is one storyline he can work on in WWE, Shubhajit would book Roman Reigns’ future with The Bloodline following WrestleMania XL, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former. After Reigns’ exit from the faction, Shubhajit would portray him as an anti-hero trying hard to claw his way back up to the top.
Apart from reporting on pro wrestling, Shubhajit enjoys competitive gaming and reading.
