WWE Royal Rumble 2017: 5 Reasons Chris Jericho Should Win

5. Winning the Royal Rumble is One of the Few Things Jericho Has Yet to Accomplish

When someone has been in WWE as long as Chris Jericho has, it’s no surprise he has racked up some accolades. Over the past few weeks, Jericho has had numerous matches for Roman Reigns’ United States Championship. Although he has come up short every time, the announce team has played up the fact that winning the U.S. title is one of the few things Jericho hasn’t done in his storied career. Winning a Royal Rumble is another. Other than those two things, he really has done it all.

Jericho has been the WWE/F Undisputed Champion, Tag Team Champion, Intercontinental Champion, Heavyweight Champion, European Champion, and Hardcore Champion. He did all of this while constantly reinventing himself over the years. And despite taking a few breaks to go on tour with Fozzy, he has consistently stayed loyal to WWE and has always been a reliable superstar in and out of the ring.

This is not to say Jericho should be awarded a Rumble victory strictly because it would nearly complete his list of accomplishments. He deserves to win the Rumble for plenty of other reasons that we will get into shortly, but the fact that it’s more or less the one thing he has yet to achieve would certainly make a victory that much sweeter.
