Chris Jericho Reveals Vince McMahon Dissing Him to The Undertaker the Night Y2J Became Undisputed Champion

Back at WWE Vengeance in 2001, Chris Jericho did the seemingly impossible and defeated both The Rock and Steve Austin to become the first-ever WWE Undisputed Champion.

In a recent interview with Viktre.com, Y2J revealed that his post-PPV celebration was spent alone, adding the following:

“I was told in the afternoon that I was going to win when Vince McMahon said to The Undertaker ‘Hey ‘Taker, how do you know the business is going down the toilet? Because we’re putting the belt on Jericho’ and that’s how I found out I was going to be the champion,” Jericho recalled.

“I came back through the curtain, everyone was gone because when you’re on last everybody leaves to get out of the traffic quicker. Sat there by myself and then drove to a hotel where room service stopped ‪at midnight‬, it was ‪11:58‬. They wouldn’t serve it, so I got pizza. They wouldn’t bring it to my room, so I had to go down to the lobby to get it. When I went back up, I was locked out. Went back down to the lobby, the guy wouldn’t let me in even though I just checked in a few minutes earlier. Dropped the pizza on the floor when he finally did let me in. So, I spent the night being the first undisputed champion eating cold, fuzzy pizza in a Ramada Inn somewhere in Anaheim”.
