Chris Jericho is currently making a name for himself as the first-ever AEW World Champion, but there was a time when Y2J was at the forefront of WWE's programming after coming over from WCW.

Jericho is interestingly the only person in WWE history to have competed in the final WCW Clash of Champions pay-per-view as well as the first WWE event under the same name. Jericho competed back in 1997 as part of Clash of Champions XXXV in a match against Eddie Guerrero where he was able to pick up the win and retain the WCW Cruiserweight Championship in Nashville, Tennesse.

Almost two decades later when WWE acquired the rights for Clash of Champions, Jericho competed once again in a singles match against Sami Zayn in the only match that wasn't a gimmick match on the card that year.

Jericho picked up the win in both matches with his victory over Zayn coming after his famous codebreaker and adds this stat to quite an impressive list of accolades that Y2J was able to create throughout his time in WWE.
