WWF-Royal_Rumble_2002-WWF

Is it a forgone conclusion that the Rock will win, or can Chris Jericho pull out an upset over the People's Champ? The Brahma Bull is going strong, picking up steam since defeating Booker T to become the #1 Contender. Top superstars like HHH, Stone Cold, Undertaker, and Kurt Angle have told the Rock that they will see the Rock at Wrestlemania for the title, a scenario that Chris Jericho believes impossible. A whining Y2J has been trying to convince many people (himself included) that he has a shot against the Rock. I think Jericho, like any good champ, can come out on top with some help. Whatever or whoever it is, this thing/person will let Y2J walk out of Atlanta still Undisputed WWF Champion.

Predicted Winner: Chris Jericho

Actual Winner: Chris Jericho

Once again showing that the majority is often wrong, Chris Jericho beat the Rock in typical cheap fashion. Jericho's taunting of the Rock allowed Y2J to gain control, and he exposed the steel ring on one of the turnbuckles. Jericho thought he had won the match, but his argument with the ref let the Rock put him in the Sharpshooter. Jericho tapped, but Lance Storm distracted the ref and Christian tried to hit the Rock with the title belt, but missed. Rock eliminated him, but walked into a Rock Bottom from Jericho. Rock cleaned off the Spanish announce table and Jericho cleaned off the English announce table. Jericho prepared to Rock Bottom the Rock through the Spanish announce table, but the Brahma Bull countered and Rock Bottomed him onto the English announce table. Jericho somehow recovered and put the Rock in the Walls of Jericho, but the Great One got to the ropes. Rock went for a Clothesline, but took out the ref instead. Nick Patrick came down, but refused to count after Rock rolled up Jericho. Rock Rock Bottomed him, gave Y2J a People's Elbow, and tried to revive the ref, Earl Hebner. Jericho then hit a low blow and put his feet on the ropes (all of which Hebner didn't see), but he saw the Rock's shoulders to the mat and counted to 3.
