9 Chris Jericho Vs. Kurt Angle - No Way Out 2000
Chris Jericho and Kurt Angle have had several battles over the years, and some of their matches fly under the radar. Their meeting at No Way Out 2000 had huge stakes as Jericho's Intercontinental Championship was on the line. Moreover, Angle was looking to become a double champion as he already held the European Championship.
Angle had nothing to lose since his European Title wasn't up for grabs. Jericho and Angle began their WWE careers, three months apart, but they were major players by the turn of the year. Angle resorted to cheating as he used the Intercontinental Title belt to block the Lionsault, and he captured the Intercontinental Championship.

However, there was a caveat as Jericho would have to depart WWE, should he fail to beat Ziggler.
Jericho's ribs were taped, and he was functioning at less than 100%. The Showoff was desperate to bounce back, and so he did as he sealed the deal with his patented Zig-Zag, and Jericho undertook another hiatus to go touring with his band, Fozzy.

At Over The Limit 2010, Chris Jericho and The Miz, who were both former Unified WWE Tag Team Champions with Big Show, formed a cohesive unit. They were looking to become Unified WWE Tag Team Champions together, but they had to overcome the Hart Dynasty.
This match was tons of fun, and Jericho caught Tyson Kidd in mid-air with a picture-perfect Codebreaker. Had Jericho covered Kidd straightaway, new Tag Team Champions would have been crowned.

The winner between Chris Jericho and Kane would go on to face Triple H in a title unification match at No Mercy 2002. Y2J's Intercontinental Championship was on the line, and Kane was aiming for more gold, as he was already one-half of the WWE Tag Team Champions with The Hurricane.
This was the main event, and this was an underrated classic between the two participants. Y2J applied submission holds to wear down Kane. The Big Red Machine had the size and strength advantage. Triple H interfered, and Jericho managed to counter Kane's Chokeslam because of the distraction from the reigning World Heavyweight Champion. Nevertheless, Kane managed to execute the Chokeslam, and he became a two-time Intercontinental Champion.

The newly-crowned World Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho and Christian put their titles on the line against Booker T and Goldust at No Mercy 2002. Booker and Goldust were in the early stages of a blossoming tag team, but it was clear to see that they were going to become popular.

Steve Austin assumed control as the special guest referee, and Jericho was far from pleased with the votes. Randy Orton and Michaels also interfered in the match. Ultimately, after all the chaos ensued, Batista captured his fourth World Championship with a Batista Bomb.
