5 WWE Superstars who reluctantly agreed to put someone over

#3 Chris Jericho reluctantly agreed to lose to Fandango (WWE WrestleMania 29)

Fandango caused one of the biggest upsets in WWE history when he defeated Chris Jericho on his main-roster debut at WrestleMania 29.

One year earlier, Jericho competed in a WWE Championship match against CM Punk at WrestleMania 28. He also racked up countless WrestleMania moments in the previous decade, including a main-event appearance at WrestleMania 18 against Triple H.

Writing in his 2017 book, No Is a Four-Letter Word, the nine-time WWE Intercontinental Champion said he did not want to face Fandango but he reluctantly agreed to go ahead with the match after some words of advice from WWE colleague The Undertaker.

Jericho added that he was under the impression that he was going to win the match, only to be told that WWE Chairman Vince McMahon wanted him to lose.

“A few days before Mania, producer Dean Malenko called to tell me (much to my shock) that the finish was Fandango going over clean, and I went berserk. I called Vince and started screaming that I was sick of this double-crossing bulls***! It was bad enough that he had changed my Mania match to Fandango, but now he was changing the finish too?”

Although Jericho made his feelings quite clear behind the scenes, he stayed professional in front of WWE's cameras and, as requested, he put over Fandango at WrestleMania.
