Chris Jericho was something of a shock announcement for the Raw 25 legends line-up thanks to his current working relationship with New Japan Pro Wrestling. Lining himself up a match against Tetsuya Naito following a profoundly successful programme with Kenny Omega, 'Y2J' was thought to be briefly out of bounds until the company leaked his attendance just six days out from the show itself.

He's an incredibly worthy addition. His body of work can be defined by his multiple reinventions, but arguably the high points of each came on Monday Night Raw. His earth-shattering WWE debut still raises hairs on the back of the neck higher than his absurd proto-topknot, whilst his 2008 turn on Shawn Michaels and symbolic karmic punishment from best friend Kevin Owens in 2017 belong together on any self-respecting 'Best Of' list.

He's deserved the honour of yet again declaring that "Raw is (still) Jericho", regardless of what he gets up to on the night itself.
