8 Reasons Why Today's WWE Raw Is WCW In Disguise

6. Chris Jericho Stealing The Show

For the past few months, Chris Jericho's segments have consistently been one of the high points of Raw, with his friendship with Kevin Owens becoming a focal point of the show.

Obviously, that alliance is now over, but even in light of Jeri-KO’s demise, he was once again back in the thick of it this past week, returning and cementing his face turn in a segment that was just as great as any of his work from his prime.

And yet, he’s still being utilised in a midcard feud. A very good mid-card feud - but a midcard feud nonetheless.

It’s a story that echoes his WCW days, in which he was rarely featured at the top of the card despite being one of the company’s most entertaining acts.

Of course, this time around the circumstances are very different. His commitments with Fozzy mean that these days he’s essentially a part-timer, as opposed to an up-and-coming starlet. Still, there are certainly parallels between today's Jericho and WCW Jericho, in the way in which he’s presented - and of course the fact that he's still stealing the show almost two decades down the line.
