Jeri-Show
View on WikipediaThe team of Paul Wight and Chris Jericho, better known as Jeri-Show, are a professional wrestling tag team currently signed with All Elite Wrestling (AEW). They previously competed in the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) promotion, where Wight was known as (The) Big Show.[1]
Key Information
The duo made their debut in July 2009 at WWE's Night of Champions pay-per-view event, where Jericho replaced the legitimate injured Edge with Show as his tag team partner in his defense of the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship (which was made by the unification of the World Tag Team Championship and WWE Tag Team Championship).[5][6]
Throughout the remainder of 2009, Jeri-Show were involved in several highly promoted feuds and angles, as well as defending the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship and challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship.[7] The duo also headlined two of WWE's pay-per-view events during their short tenure together, with the first being at Survivor Series[8] and the second at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs.[9]
After their WWE departures in 2019 and 2021, respectively, Jericho had signed with AEW as one of the earliest members of the roster while Wight (formerly Big Show) followed two years later.
History
[edit]World Wrestling Entertainment / WWE (2009–2016)
[edit]Unified WWE Tag Team Champions (2009–2010)
[edit]At The Bash on June 28, 2009, Jericho and his then partner Edge, both heels, won the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship (which consisted of the World Tag Team Championship and the WWE Tag Team Championship) as surprise entrants in a tag team match.[10] When Edge suffered a legitimate torn Achilles tendon shortly thereafter which left him unable to wrestle, Jericho exploited a contractual loophole that allowed him to choose a new partner to replace Edge so that Jericho's reign could continue uninterrupted, while insulting Edge for being injury prone.[11][12]
On July 26 at Night of Champions, Jericho revealed fellow heel Big Show as his new tag team partner and they defeated Legacy members Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase to retain the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship, thus allowing Big Show (who was from the Raw brand) and Jericho (who was from the SmackDown brand) to appear on both brands.[13] Jeri-Show would then feud with Cryme Tyme (JTG and Shad Gaspard), which culminated in a successful title defense for Jeri-Show at SummerSlam on August 23.[14][15] Jericho and Big Show would then feud with Montel Vontavious Porter and Mark Henry, which would also result in another successful title defense for Jeri-Show at Breaking Point on September 13 against them.[16] Next, Jeri-Show would move on to feud with Batista, who then challenged for the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship with Jericho's rival Rey Mysterio at Hell in a Cell on October 4, where resulted in another successful title defense.[17]
On the October 5 episode of Raw, Jeri-Show would begin a feud with Shawn Michaels and Triple H of D-Generation X (D-X) following a loss in a non-title match.[1] Leading up to Bragging Rights, Jericho was named as a co-captain (with Kane) for Team SmackDown while Big Show joined Team Raw, which was captained by D-X.[1] At Bragging Rights on October 25, Big Show turned on Team Raw when he attacked his teammates Kofi Kingston and Triple H, resulting in Jericho getting the win for Team SmackDown.[18] Big Show would then reveal that his motives for aiding Team SmackDown was so that he would be granted a shot against SmackDown's World Heavyweight Champion The Undertaker, while Jericho would insert himself into the title match as well after defeating Kane, thus making it a triple threat match.[1] At Survivor Series on November 22, The Undertaker retained his World Heavyweight Championship after Jericho and Big Show turned on each other despite working together throughout most of the match.[19] Jeri-Show would then continue their feud with D-X and on December 13 at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs, they lost the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship to D-X in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match, ending their reign at 140 days.[20] On the December 14 episode of Raw, Jeri-Show won a Slammy Award for "Tag Team of the Year", while that same night they used their rematch clause against D-X, who quickly intentionally disqualified themselves and retained the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship (as a result, Jericho, from the SmackDown brand, could not appear on Raw as he was no longer a Unified WWE Tag Team Champion).[21][22] D-X granted Jeri-Show yet another rematch for the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship, with the additional stipulation that Jericho had to "leave Raw forever" if Jeri-Show lost, which they did on the January 4, 2010 episode of Raw, marking the end of Jeri-Show.[2]
After their breakup, Edge made his return at the 2010 Royal Rumble match to feud with Jericho, eliminating Jericho en route to winning the Rumble.[23] Meanwhile, Big Show would go on to win the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship back from D-X when he teamed with The Miz, forming ShoMiz.[24] Jericho would eventually return to Raw again when he was drafted to the Raw brand through the 2010 WWE draft.[25]
Unofficial reunions (2012–2016)
[edit]On the July 9, 2012 episode of Raw, Jeri-Show (as villains) reunited for one-time to take on John Cena and Kane in a tag team match, which they went to lose by disqualification.[26]
On the September 5, 2014 episode of SmackDown, Jeri-Show (as fan favorites) had a one-night reunion, competing in a ten-man tag team match that consisted of themselves teaming with John Cena, Mark Henry and Roman Reigns against Kane, Seth Rollins and The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Erick Rowan and Luke Harper), which Jeri-Show's team won by disqualification after The Wyatt Family broke up Cena's STF on Rollins and refused to stop their assault on Cena.[27]
On the January 28, 2016 episode of SmackDown, Big Show helped Jericho, Reigns and Dean Ambrose from a Wyatt Family assault, having a one night reunion for Jeri-Show.[28]
All Elite Wrestling (2023–present)
[edit]Jericho, now signed with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) since 2019, had filed a trademark to the team name in February 2023.[29] He did an interview with Renee Paquette on the October 25 episode of AEW Dynamite that after he was attacked by Powerhouse Hobbs, Jericho stated that "while Don Callis may have a lot of family members, Jericho has a lot of friends, including some that are even bigger", referring to Big Show, now going by his real name of Paul Wight, who signed with the company in 2021, teasing a possible JeriShow reunion.[30]
On the November 1 episode of Dynamite, Jericho and Kenny Omega (of The Golden Jets tag team) confronted Callis and challenged The Don Callis Family in a four-on-four Street Fight on the November 15 broadcast. Omega revealed that his Golden Lovers teammate Kota Ibushi will be one partner and Jericho revealed that Wight will be the other partner, reuniting Jeri-Show for the first time in 7 years. Wight appeared on the stage and knocked out Kyle Fletcher.[31] On the November 15 episode of Dynamite, the team successfully defeated The Don Callis Family.[32]
Chris Jericho and Paul Wight also appear together as Jeri-Show on the Last Night of Chris Jericho Cruise: Five Alive event on January 30, 2024. [33]

Chris Jericho
Chris Jericho, a veteran professional wrestler, established himself as a multi-time world champion in WWE, capturing the World Heavyweight Championship for the first time on October 5, 2008, at No Mercy by defeating Batista.[8][9] This victory capped a transformative 2008 heel turn, which began on the June 9 episode of Raw when Jericho attacked Shawn Michaels during an episode of The Highlight Reel, shifting from his charismatic Y2J persona to a more ruthless, suit-wearing antagonist driven by resentment toward fan favorites.[10] Jericho's reinvention as a heel elevated his status, leading to high-profile feuds and solidifying his role as a cunning leader capable of manipulating alliances for personal gain.[11] Following his 2008 championship success, Jericho expressed on-screen frustration with unreliable tag team partners, particularly after briefly teaming with Edge, whose Achilles tendon injury at a July 3, 2009, house show in San Diego left Jericho without a reliable ally just days after they captured the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship at The Bash.[12] This dissatisfaction stemmed from Jericho's history of short-lived partnerships, prompting him to seek a more dominant complement to his style, ultimately leading to his alliance with Big Show. Jericho's heel persona, marked by sharp-tongued promos and psychological warfare, positioned him as the strategic mastermind behind the team's inception.[13] Jericho's microphone prowess was instrumental in driving Jeri-Show's formation, as he used his verbal agility to berate potential rivals and assert control during the July 3, 2009, episode of SmackDown, where he and Edge defended their titles against CM Punk and Jeff Hardy, foreshadowing the need for a powerhouse partner.[14] Prior to Jeri-Show, Jericho had proven his tag team acumen as a multi-time champion, including reigns as WWF Tag Team Champion with Chris Benoit in 2001 and Unified WWE Tag Team Champion with Edge in 2009.[15] These experiences highlighted Jericho's versatility, blending technical skill and agility with opportunistic heel tactics that made him the ideal architect for the dominant duo. Big Show's imposing physicality served as a perfect counterpoint to Jericho's quickness and cunning.[16]Big Show
Paul Wight, professionally known as Big Show, emerged as one of WWE's most imposing figures, billed at 7 feet tall and 383 pounds, establishing himself as the company's premier giant since his debut in 1999.[17] Throughout his WWE tenure, he captured multiple world championships, including one WWE Championship, two World Heavyweight Championships, one ECW Championship, and one WCW World Heavyweight Championship prior to joining WWE, showcasing his dominance as a main-event powerhouse.[17] In 2009, Big Show aligned with Chris Jericho to form the tag team Jeri-Show, leveraging his colossal stature to complement Jericho's technical prowess and create a formidable contrast in their partnership—Big Show as the unyielding enforcer against Jericho's strategic agility. Despite his massive frame, Big Show demonstrated remarkable athleticism, executing signature maneuvers like the knockout punch and chokeslam, which he adapted effectively in tag team scenarios to isolate and overpower opponents.[17] Big Show brought extensive prior tag team experience to Jeri-Show, notably from his successful partnership with Kane in the early 2000s, where they held the World Tag Team Championship and developed a dynamic blending brute force with supernatural elements. This background facilitated his seamless transition from solo competition to renewed tag team prominence under Jericho's guidance, culminating in Jeri-Show's recognition with the 2009 Slammy Award for Tag Team of the Year.[18]History
Formation and early WWE run (2009)
In the months leading up to mid-2009, Chris Jericho, established as a cunning heel on SmackDown, had been embroiled in high-profile feuds with Batista and Rey Mysterio, culminating in his loss of the Intercontinental Championship to Mysterio at The Bash pay-per-view on June 28, 2009.[19] At the same event, Jericho and his partner Edge captured the newly unified WWE Tag Team Championship from The Colons (Carlito and Primo), but Edge's legitimate Achilles tendon injury shortly thereafter left Jericho in need of a new, dominant partner to defend the titles at Night of Champions.[19] Jericho teased the identity of his replacement on the July 20 episode of Raw, building anticipation for the event.[20] The team of Jeri-Show was formed when Big Show was announced as Jericho's new partner following Edge's injury, with the pairing officially revealed at Night of Champions on July 26, 2009, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where Big Show emerged as Jericho's mystery partner for their tag team title defense. Big Show, who had transitioned to a heel role earlier in the year by turning on his own allies during feuds on Raw, aligned with Jericho to leverage his massive size and power as the "brawn" to Jericho's strategic "brains."[19] The name "Jeri-Show" quickly emerged as a portmanteau of Jericho and Big Show, coined by WWE announcers to highlight the contrast between Jericho's technical prowess and verbal agility with Big Show's imposing physicality and intimidating presence. In their initial WWE run, Jeri-Show wasted no time asserting dominance, making their first on-screen appearance as a unit on the July 31, 2009, episode of SmackDown, where they cut a confrontational promo interrupting Cryme Tyme's celebration of a #1 contender's victory over the Hart Dynasty.[21] Jericho boasted of their combined championship pedigree—Jericho as a multiple-time world champion and Big Show as the only wrestler to hold world titles in WWE, WCW, and ECW—while dismissing challengers as insignificant. The duo's early momentum carried through quick victories over midcard teams like the Hart Dynasty on subsequent episodes, positioning them as an formidable heel unit without delving into prolonged rivalries.[22]Unified WWE Tag Team Championship reign (2009–2010)
Jeri-Show's tenure as Unified WWE Tag Team Champions commenced at Night of Champions on July 26, 2009, when Big Show replaced the injured Edge as Chris Jericho's partner and they defeated Legacy (Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase) to win the titles unified at The Bash earlier that year. The duo quickly established dominance, securing victory by submission after Big Show applied the Colossal Clutch to DiBiase. This win solidified their position as the reigning unified champions, blending Jericho's technical prowess with Big Show's overwhelming power.[2] Over the course of their 140-day reign, Jeri-Show amassed ten successful defenses against prominent challengers, showcasing their versatility in both Raw and pay-per-view bouts. Notable victories included retaining against Cryme Tyme (JTG and Shad Gaspard) at SummerSlam on August 23, 2009, via pinfall following a Codebreaker on JTG, and overcoming Montel Vontavious Porter and Mark Henry at Breaking Point on September 13, 2009, with a knockout punch from Big Show on Porter. Additional defenses featured triumphs over The Hart Dynasty (Tyson Kidd and David Hart Smith) and further encounters with Cryme Tyme, highlighting the team's ability to repel up-and-coming and established tag divisions alike. These matches emphasized strategic alliances and brute force, contributing to Jeri-Show's reputation as an imposing unit.[23][3][19] The reign's climax involved an intense feud with D-Generation X (Triple H and Shawn Michaels), sparked by ongoing rivalries and escalating confrontations on Raw throughout late 2009. This animosity peaked in a high-stakes Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs on December 13, 2009, where DX captured the titles after Triple H retrieved the belts amid chaotic spots, including Big Show hurling Jericho off a ladder through a table. Post-loss, subtle internal tensions emerged between Jericho and Big Show over blame and strategy, yet the partnership persisted without an immediate dissolution. Their accomplishments during this period were recognized with the Slammy Award for Tag Team of the Year on the December 14, 2009, episode of Raw, affirming their impact on WWE's tag team landscape.[4][24]Dissolution and unofficial reunions (2010–2016)
Following their defeat to D-Generation X in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match for the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship at TLC on December 13, 2009, internal tensions within Jeri-Show intensified. Chris Jericho publicly blamed Big Show for the loss, accusing him of failing to execute key spots effectively during the high-stakes contest.[4] This blame game escalated into a personal feud portrayed as a clichéd romantic breakup, with Jericho mocking Big Show's size and reliability in backstage segments and promos on Raw.[25] The partnership officially dissolved on the January 4, 2010 episode of Raw, when DX defeated Jeri-Show in a rematch for the tag team titles under a stipulation that required Jericho to leave the Raw brand if they lost. With assistance from Hornswoggle, Triple H and Shawn Michaels retained the championships via a visual pinfall on Big Show after a double Pedigree, ending Jeri-Show's run after 140 days as champions. The immediate aftermath saw no formal singles rematch between the two, but their rivalry provided a narrative pivot that elevated their individual WWE pushes: Jericho was drafted to SmackDown during the 2010 WWE Draft on April 26, 2010, and captured the World Heavyweight Championship by winning the Elimination Chamber match on February 21, 2010, while Big Show partnered with The Miz to form ShoMiz and reclaim the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship at The Elimination Chamber event.[26] Over the ensuing years, Jeri-Show experienced sporadic unofficial reunions amid shifting WWE storylines, though none reformed the team as a formal unit. On the July 9, 2012 episode of Raw, Jericho and Big Show briefly allied as heels against John Cena and Kane in a tag team match stemming from Big Show's frustration with Cena; the bout ended in disqualification after Big Show continued assaulting the WWE Champion post-submission, leading to a post-match beatdown by Cena and Kane. This one-off collaboration highlighted lingering chemistry but dissolved quickly without follow-up. In early 2013, amid ongoing feuds with The Shield, Jericho participated in multi-man matches against the faction on Raw, including a February 18 tag team bout alongside Sheamus and Ryback, while Big Show's interactions with Jericho remained adversarial, as seen in their singles match on the February 15 episode of SmackDown where Big Show emerged victorious.[27][28] Occasional promo references to their past partnership surfaced in individual segments, underscoring the feud's role in their solo arcs without reigniting a full rivalry. By 2016, both wrestlers had transitioned into distinct phases of their careers, limiting opportunities for further team-ups. Big Show underwent multiple face turns, including alliances against heels like Rusev and Braun Strowman, while Jericho adopted a part-time schedule focused on high-profile feuds such as his interpromotional clash with AJ Styles at WrestleMania 32 on April 3, 2016. Their shared history received nostalgic nods in promos, but no official or unofficial reunions occurred, marking the conclusion of Jeri-Show's WWE era as both pursued independent trajectories.AEW signing and revival (2023–2025)
Chris Jericho, who had been a foundational figure in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) since its inception, joined the promotion in January 2019 as its inaugural signing, bringing his extensive experience to the roster.[29] Paul Wight, formerly known as Big Show in WWE, signed a long-term contract with AEW on February 24, 2021, transitioning to a role that included both in-ring performances and commentary duties.[30] Both wrestlers remained under contract with AEW through the end of 2025, providing the contractual basis for any potential team activities despite their individual focuses.[31][32] In a move hinting at renewed interest in the tag team, Jericho filed a trademark application for "Jeri-Show" on February 16, 2023, covering entertainment services such as live wrestling performances and related media.[33] This filing, submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, fueled speculation about a possible revival of the duo now that both members were aligned under AEW.[34] The team was revived in November 2023 on AEW Dynamite. On the November 1 episode, Wight joined Jericho in the ring to confront The Don Callis Family, leading to a brief alliance. This culminated on the November 15 episode in a Like a Dragon Gaiden Street Fight, where Jericho and Wight teamed with Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi to defeat Brian Cage, Konosuke Takeshita, Kyle Fletcher, and Powerhouse Hobbs.[35][5] The partnership continued with a one-off appearance during the Chris Jericho Rock 'N' Wrestling Rager at Sea: Five Alive cruise event, held from January 26 to January 30, 2024, aboard the Norwegian Pearl. On the final night, Jericho and Wight reunited as Jeri-Show, entering to their classic theme music with Jericho donning his original 2009 gear, and competed in a multi-man tag team match alongside allies against members of the Don Callis Family and Lance Archer.[36] This nostalgic showcase highlighted their past chemistry without advancing any ongoing AEW storylines. As of November 2025, Jeri-Show has not competed in any further televised matches on AEW programming since November 2023, largely due to Wight's ongoing recovery from multiple knee surgeries and other injuries that have limited his in-ring availability since 2023.[37] Jericho, meanwhile, has been occupied with solo endeavors, including his "Learning Tree" mentorship angle, though he has been absent from AEW television since early 2025.[38] The team maintains a nominal existence through their shared AEW contracts, with no pursuits of tag team titles in the promotion. Rumors persist of Jericho potentially departing for WWE upon his contract's expiration at the end of 2025, which could impact any future collaborations.[39] In 2025, Wight has occasionally referenced his history with Jericho during AEW commentary appearances, evoking their past partnership without teasing new team activity.[40]Championships and accomplishments
Tag team championships
Jeri-Show, consisting of Chris Jericho and Big Show, achieved their sole joint tag team championship as the Unified WWE Tag Team Champions, inheriting the titles following Edge's injury and continuing the unification established earlier that year.[41] Prior to forming the team, Jericho had secured seven WWE tag team titles across both the WWF/World Tag Team and WWE Tag Team Championships, partnering with wrestlers such as The Rock, Christian, and Edge, while Big Show had won five World Tag Team Championships with partners including Kane, The Undertaker, and Rey Mysterio, establishing their individual pedigrees in the division.[42][43] The duo won the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship on July 26, 2009, at Night of Champions in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, defeating The Legacy (Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase) via submission when Jericho applied the Walls of Jericho to DiBiase.[44] This victory marked Jeri-Show's ascension to the top of WWE's tag team landscape, as they defended both the WWE Tag Team and World Tag Team Championships under the unified banner, a distinction first achieved by Jericho and Edge at The Bash on June 28, 2009. Their reign lasted 140 days and included several successful defenses against various challengers, such as Cryme Tyme at SummerSlam on August 23, 2009; MVP and Mark Henry at Breaking Point on September 13, 2009; and Batista and Rey Mysterio at Hell in a Cell on October 4, 2009.[20] Jeri-Show lost the titles on December 13, 2009, at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs in San Antonio, Texas, to D-Generation X (Shawn Michaels and Triple H) in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match.[4] This 140-day reign solidified their status as a dominant force, with the unification emphasizing the prestige of holding both legacy tag team belts simultaneously.[45]| Championship | Reign Number | Date Won | Event | Location | Days Held | Defenses | Date Lost | Event | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unified WWE Tag Team Championship | 1 | July 26, 2009 | Night of Champions | Philadelphia, PA | 140 | 10 | December 13, 2009 | TLC | Defeated The Legacy (Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase); lost to D-Generation X (Shawn Michaels & Triple H) |
