As popular as he is nowadays, Chris Jericho is still technically a heel on WWE television. In the same boat as his good buddy Kevin Owens, Y2J is there to elicit boos from the audience. Opening up Raw, the Canadian couldn't quite raise the ire of those in attendance, they were delighted to see him.

The crux of Jericho's segment revolved around the idea that he had lost his coveted 'List Of Jericho' and refused to wrestle or even leave the ring until it was back in his possession. Threatening to stay put all night in the centre of the ring, the veteran was expecting people to boo such a notion.

Instead, the live crowd went nuts. This can't have been the response Jericho was seeking, so he tried again to hammer home the point that the show would be held up until he got what he wanted. Once more, the audience erupted with glee.

Credit to Jericho for keeping things together, he didn't smile or react positively to the cheering. That said, it's likely his words were supposed to irritate the fans, not make them happy.
