Chris Jericho is a renaissance man and seems to find himself everywhere in the annals of wrestling history with his appearances of matches of this nature. In Survivor Series, WWE debuted the Elimination Chamber, with Triple H defending his World Championship against Chris Jericho, RVD, Shawn Michaels, Kane, and Booker T.

While the match saw Shawn Michaels capture his first world title in years, the chamber was dangerous as the competitors had not seen it earlier that day. Chris Jericho said:

"We didn't see it until the day of the show in Madison Square Garden. And it's one of those things that you can tell was made by somebody who's not a wrestling person. It was very clunky, it was very dangerous. It's made of real grated steel -- you probably could have made it out of rubber and you wouldn't have known the difference. The walls were very stiff, and they didn't make any noise when you hit them, so it hurts like hell and sounds like s---."

Chris Jericho was shoved through the glass in the chamber by Kane, and despite the multiple logistic problems that occurred during the match, it turned out to be a success. Moreover, Jericho can now proudly claim that he was in the first-ever Money in the Bank, Ambrose Asylum, Stadium Stampede, and Mimosa Mayhem match as well as Elimination Chamber.

#6 Chris Jericho vs. Jon Moxley feud

Any wrestling fan will tell you that one of AEW's best feud was the Chris Jericho vs. Jon Moxley. The build to their match at AEW Revolution was wonderfully put together as soon as Moxley was the #1 contender for the AEW World Championship. Chris Jericho would then try to offer Moxley a place in The Inner Circle, which Moxley initially accept only to reveal that he was joking.

Jericho would then seek to punish Moxley for weeks as punishment for his sins with his Inner Circle goons' aid and throwing obstacles in true heel fashion. Moxley committed to the role, even playing his "eye injury" with a patch. It was pro wrestling at its finest, and Chris Jericho played a big part in putting Jon Moxley at the top.

Sure, they had their matches in WWE, but nowhere near what they did in AEW. Moxley's current reign as AEW World Champion has been well received, and he has Jericho to thank for that.
