The team ofPaul Wight andChris Jericho, better known asJeri-Show, are aprofessional wrestlingtag team currently signed withAll Elite Wrestling (AEW). They previously competed in theWorld Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)promotion, where Wight was known as (The) Big Show.[1]
The duo made their debut in July 2009 at WWE'sNight of Championspay-per-view event, where Jericho replaced thelegitimate injuredEdge with Show as his tag team partner in his defense of the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship (which was made by theunification of theWorld Tag Team Championship andWWE Tag Team Championship).[5][6]
Throughout the remainder of 2009, Jeri-Show were involved in several highly promotedfeuds andangles, as well as defending the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship and challenging for theWorld Heavyweight Championship.[7] The duo also headlined two of WWE's pay-per-view events during their short tenure together, with the first being atSurvivor Series[8] and the second atTLC: 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.
AtThe Bash on June 28, 2009, Jericho and his then partnerEdge, bothheels, won the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship (which consisted of theWorld Tag Team Championship and theWWE Tag Team Championship) as surprise entrants in atag team match.[10] When Edge suffered alegitimate tornAchilles 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 atNight of Champions, Jericho revealed fellow heelBig Show as his new tag team partner and they defeatedLegacy membersCody Rhodes andTed DiBiase to retain the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship, thus allowing Big Show (who was from theRawbrand) and Jericho (who was from theSmackDown brand) to appear on both brands.[13] Jeri-Show would thenfeud withCryme Tyme (JTG andShad Gaspard), which culminated in a successful title defense for Jeri-Show atSummerSlam on August 23.[14][15] Jericho and Big Show would then feud withMontel Vontavious Porter andMark Henry, which would also result in another successful title defense for Jeri-Show atBreaking Point on September 13 against them.[16] Next, Jeri-Show would move on to feud withBatista, who then challenged for the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship with Jericho's rivalRey Mysterio atHell in a Cell on October 4, where resulted in another successful title defense.[17]
On the October 5 episode ofRaw, Jeri-Show would begin a feud withShawn Michaels andTriple H ofD-Generation X (D-X) following a loss in a non-title match.[1] Leading up toBragging Rights, Jericho was named as a co-captain (withKane) 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 teammatesKofi 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'sWorld Heavyweight ChampionThe Undertaker, while Jericho would insert himself into the title match as well after defeating Kane, thus making it atriple threat match.[1] AtSurvivor 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 atTLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs, they lost the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship to D-X in aTables, Ladders and Chairs match, ending their reign at 140 days.[20] On the December 14 episode ofRaw, Jeri-Show won aSlammy Award for "Tag Team of the Year", while that same night they used their rematch clause against D-X, who quickly intentionallydisqualified 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 ofRaw, marking the end of Jeri-Show.[2]
After their breakup, Edge made his return at the2010 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 withThe Miz, formingShoMiz.[24] Jericho would eventually return toRaw again when he was drafted to the Raw brand through the2010 WWE draft.[25]
On the July 9, 2012 episode ofRaw, Jeri-Show (as villains) reunited for one-time to take onJohn Cena andKane in a tag team match, which they went to lose by disqualification.[26]
On the September 5, 2014 episode ofSmackDown, Jeri-Show (asfan favorites) had a one-night reunion, competing in aten-man tag team match that consisted of themselves teaming with John Cena, Mark Henry andRoman Reigns against Kane,Seth Rollins andThe Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt,Erick Rowan andLuke Harper), which Jeri-Show's team won by disqualification after The Wyatt Family broke up Cena'sSTF on Rollins and refused to stop their assault on Cena.[27]
On the January 28, 2016 episode ofSmackDown, Big Show helped Jericho, Reigns andDean Ambrose from a Wyatt Family assault, having a one night reunion for Jeri-Show.[28]
Jericho, now signed withAll Elite Wrestling (AEW) since 2019, had filed a trademark to the team name in February 2023.[29] He did an interview withRenee Paquette on the October 25 episode ofAEW Dynamite that after he was attacked byPowerhouse Hobbs, Jericho stated that "whileDon 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 ofDynamite, Jericho andKenny Omega (of The Golden Jets tag team) confronted Callis and challengedThe Don Callis Family in a four-on-four Street Fight on the November 15 broadcast. Omega revealed that hisGolden Lovers teammateKota 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.
