Shane McMahon will look to balance out his Top 10 with a strong veteran presence. He will want someone who can push everyone else on the roster and be freely slotted into any main event. Chris Jericho will be the perfect man for the job.

Chris Jericho just pinned Dean Ambrose on Smackdown. If Ambrose walks out of Battleground still WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Jericho will have a legitimate claim to a title shot. We have seen Jericho and Ambrose battle before, but it's different when the biggest prize of all is on the line.

When he's not chasing the big title, Jericho is invaluable when it comes to working with new talent, which Smackdown will have plenty of. It would be awesome to see Jericho try and rain on Finn Bálor's debut parade.
