When? Late 2016, early 2017

Why? After initially only intending to stick around until WrestleMania 32, Chris Jericho’s 2016 return ended up lasting some 17 months and producing one of the best runs of his career.

His creation of the List of Jericho, the ridiculous scarf-and-trunks combo and a catchphrase as simple as “stupid idiot” were enough to see the six-time world champion totally reinvent himself at 45 years young.

Eventually aligning with Kevin Owens in mid-to-late 2016, the pair’s antics consistently produced the most entertaining segments on Raw, while they also found success in the ring with Owens winning the Universal title.

From there, the timing seemed perfect for their partnership to implode at some point down the line and have Jericho go after Owens’ title. Though the team did disband, Owens would lose the strap to the aforementioned Goldberg before he and Jericho feuded for the US title instead.

Naturally, that didn’t have quite the same impact, while it also saw Jericho miss out on a world title swansong that few would’ve begrudged him based on his recent work.
