#5 Another accomplishment Chris Jericho can boast about
Jericho is a WWE Grand Slam winner and the first Undisputed WWE World Heavyweight Champion. He did the same by defeating The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin in one night and has been reminding the fans of this incredible feat ever since then. The entirety of Jericho's WWE career saw him mention this achievement on several occasions and receive great heel heat.
Jericho becoming the first-ever AEW World Champion will only give him another achievement to boast of, and he will make sure to remind the fans about it for years to come.
This will add another interesting layer to his heel character down the line, and the ones who defeat him in the future would benefit from the fact that they have put down the first-ever AEW World Champion.
