"Lionheart" Chris Jericho defeated that 'roided-up douche, Batista, in a cage match to regain the World Heavyweight Title. Of course, he's facing Cena at Survivor Series, but there's always the possibility that Batista will screw Cena out of the match, setting up another one between them. The December PPV is already being advertised as Jericho v. Cena v. Batista. Since Cena has been out with an injury, for months, and they keep showing these lame videos in an effort to hype his return, it would be overkill to have him come in and win the World Title in his first match back. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but it's not impossible that Jericho can slide by for another few months as champ.
I didn't have to wait six more years for another title reign. Maybe this means he's finally been cemented as a main eventer. About damn time. He was booked to look so weak, going into his PPV match with Batista. Typical wrestling logic would dictate that the one looking bad on the way in will come out on top. Not this time. Jericho was treated like a bitch and soundly defeated, thanks to Austin and Michaels. I figured that it was a foregone conclusion that he would be losing his rematch and heading back for the midcard. Instead, he shocked many by regaining the World Heavyweight Title. Now, he is a five time World Champion (six, if you count his win over HHH). I don't see how he can hold on to this until Wrestlemania, but I think his legacy has been improved. Just think; if he'd never come back, many would remember him for his last couple horrible years, from 2004-2005.
