Hats off to Chris Jericho for winning the one title that has eluded him his entire career, the United States Championship.

Sure, it took Braun Strowman, Jericho and Kevin Owens attacking him to open Raw, and Jeri-KO combining in a handicap match, but the record books now show that Jericho has held the following titles in WWE: World, Intercontinental, European, U.S. and tag titles. And he’s held the WCW Championship, TV Championship and Cruiserweight Championship.

That’s a huge record of accomplishment for Y2J, as his career resurgence continues into 2017. Maybe Jericho will follow in his Thrillseekers partner Lance Storm’s footsteps and put a Maple Leaf decal on the title and rename it.
