Becoming the first-ever AEW World Champion was just the latest title Jericho added to his trophy case. While it did briefly leave his possession for a spell after winning it, it's now back with the Champ.

Prior to his most recent win, Jericho's career was already laden with Championships. And with that usually being a big marker as to an athlete's greatness, Jericho is able to boast an impressive resume with titles from numerous promotions.

In ECW, he won the Television Championship. As previously mentioned, he won the WCW Television and Cruiserweight Championships. Once he found a permanent home in WWE, his title resume became even more bloated.

Throughout his WWE run, Jericho has won the World Heavyweight Championship three times, the Undisputed Championship once, and the WWE Championship twice. He also picked up a reign as the European and Hardcore Champion. His big mark was made in the mid-card and tag divisions as he boasts nine Intercontinental title reigns and six Tag Team title runs.

Outside of the WWE, he's won the IWGP Intercontinental Championship and the AEW World title. That is 28 titles combined won in his career in those promotions. Flair has over 40 combined titles in his career while Cena has 25. If those two are among the names listed as GOATs, Jericho's name deserves to be mentioned along with them.
