"MY JAW WAS ON THE FLOOR", "Not a fan of remakes" - Chris Jericho stuns WWE fans with massive 20-year reference

Former WWE Superstar Chris Jericho recently stunned fans with a massive 20-year callback from WrestleMania 19 during his AEW Grand Slam match against Sammy Guevara.

Jericho joined WWE(then WWF) in 1999. Y2J became one of the most decorated stars in the business by winning several titles, including the World Heavyweight Championship thrice, the Intercontinental Championship a whopping nine times, the United States Championship twice, and the Tag Team Championship seven times.

Chris Jericho joined AEW in 2019 and recently went in a bout against Sammy Guevara at the Grand Slam edition of Dynamite. Y2J came out victorious, the duo then hugged each other to pay their respects.

However, Guevara turned heel and kicked the former Intercontinental Champion, referencing a similar moment that happened on March 30, 2003, at the WWE WrestleMania 19 match between Jericho and Shawn Michaels, where Y2J kicked The Heartbreak Kid.

Following the show, a fan took to Twitter to post about the similarities between the two moments. They wrote that they were getting similar vibes as soon as the two stars hugged.
