Chris Jericho...who to feud with?

67

By Y2G

After weeks of the "It Begins" videos playing during Raw, Chris Jericho returned early this month to the WWE. Jericho has also said very few words in his 3 weeks back in the WWE, leaving us very little idea of what direction the company is going with him. I decided I'd bring up my top 3 possible feuds for Y2J.

1. The Undertaker-No one is a bigger name around Wrestlemania than the Undertaker. He is currently 19-0 at the event and has defeated numerous stars and legends in the process ranging from Batista to Ric Flair and HBK. That all sounds great, but why should Jericho go for The Streak? He surely isn't as credible as HBK or HHH (Taker's last victim). Y2J should go for The Streak for a few reasons. First of all, he's never worked a program with the Undertaker before. It will be something fresh, and everyone wants to see Chris Jericho, the ultimate mic man, try to get inside the Phenom's head and play mind games on the man who does them better then the rest. Secondly, Jericho could make us believe he could be the one to beat undertaker at Wrestlemania. HHH may have lost at Wrestlemania 27, but he left under his own power, something Taker couldn't do. He can play it off as 'becoming more human' and Jericho with his masterful mic skills could surely convince fans he's the one to do it, after all he did beat Stone Cold and The Rock in one night. Not to mention it would be a legendary moment if Jericho won the Royal Rumble and instead of challenging for a Title went after The Streak instead.

2. CM Punk-For those who don't care so much about wrestling, but love watching promo's this is perfect for you. CM Punk has been on a serious roll since his iconic promo in June. He has won the WWE Championship twice, and is the current Champion. He did however, make one mistake...he claimed he was the best in the world. Chris Jericho used nearly the exact same line a few years ago and it would be perfect for him to reclaim his title as 'the best in the world at what he does'. CM Punk is the best active WWE superstar on the mic, and Chris Jericho is one of the All Time greats, so this feud wouldn't even need matches to be epic. If Punk managed to beat Jericho, it would solidify him as a top guy in the company as well.

3. Randy Orton-This makes the most sense. Randy Orton was the reason (kayfabe) that Chris Jericho left WWE in the first place, by punting him in the Skull. With it evident that Jericho has come back as a heel, who wouldn't want to see this rivalry? Jericho can take care of the mic work (something Orton lacks) and they could put on some fantastic matches and steal the show night in and night out. I'm a fan of Randy, but let's be honest, we want to see him go crazy...not talk normal. Who better to unleash 'The Viper' then Chris Jericho? I think of any of the feuds I've listed these would have the best matches, and I think a program with Y2J could get Orton to maybe even take some notes on the mic, while displaying the heel characteristics we all love him doing.
