WWE Royal Rumble 2017: 5 Reasons Chris Jericho Should Win

2. Y2J Deserves One Last Title Reign

Just last year it seemed like we would never see Jericho in a WWE ring for an extended period ever again. Due to his commitments to his band, he would usually show up for a few months and then disappear again. Thankfully that wasn’t the case this time around as his current run has not only been one of his best, but one of his longest. Still, one has to wonder how much longer Jericho will be around. And just like with any other superstar well into their 40s, one has to wonder if he’ll ever hold a world title again.

It’s the same reason many are picking the Undertaker to take home the victory at this year’s Rumble. Aside from the exciting possibility of Undertaker vs John Cena or the Phenom vs the Phenomenal One, people want to see the Deadman have one last title reign. He deserves it after all he has done for WWE. The same goes for Chris Jericho.

The last time Y2J held a world title was in 2010 when he was the World Heavyweight Champion. If his current run in WWE truly is the best run of his career, and many believe it is, it makes sense to give him one last title reign. In WWE, you never know when someone’s popularity is going to wane. They would be smart to take advantage of how hot Jericho is right now and give him the title reign he deserves while the time is right. And the best way to do that is by giving him the Royal Rumble victory and beating Kevin Owens at WrestleMania.
