There's an old saying that there can only be one number one, and in December 2001, Chris Jericho made history by becoming the very first WWF Undisputed Champion. The win had been a long-time coming for Y2J, as though he had been a huge player in the Invasion storyline earlier that year, he had always played second fiddle to The Rock on Team WWF, with the pair coming to blows on multiple occasions.

With the Invasion finished, the company had two champions, with The Rock holding the WCW World title, and 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin with a firm grasp over the WWF Title. A four-man tournament was made for the final Pay Per View of the year, Vengeance, where Jericho made history in more ways than one.

During his match against the most electrifying man in Sports Entertainment, for the WCW Championship, Jericho took advantage of a distraction by Vince McMahon, and low-blowed the Rock, following up with a devastating Rock Bottom to win the title and the first of his two matches of the night.
