Learn a fascinating fact about Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho.
Bounding out onto the stage with a unique hairstyle and petted lip, Chris Jericho finally made his WWF debut on the August 9, 1999 edition of Raw Is War. There to interrupt The Rock and cut his debut promo, Y2J had grown tired of backstage politics and a 'glass ceiling' in WCW.

10. Sasha Banks Was Distraught After Mishearing An NXT Fan Chant
Today, Sasha Banks is riding high as the top female champion on Monday Night Raw. Set to make history against Charlotte at Hell In A Cell, Banks will be one half of the first ever Cell bout to feature women when she appears on the show. Although confidence is rife with Sasha now, it hasn't always been that way.
Granting an interview to The Undefeated, Banks opened up to tell an intriguing story about her NXT days. Facing off against Emma in the ring, Sasha heard the live crowd begin to chant something that made her heart sink. Backstage, 'The Boss' didn't feel too confident afterwards.
Sasha was sure she heard fans chant, 'Sasha's Rat Sh*t'. That wasn't actually what people in the audience were saying. Instead, the crowd were chanting, 'Sasha's Ratchet', a slang term directed at her character and not her pro wrestling ability.
Upset because she thought people didn't enjoy the match, Banks didn't realise that people were simply aiming fire at her heel guise. Even though it was nothing personal, Sasha misheard the audience and was feeling blue in the locker room post-match.
