Gregory Helms Returns To Challenge Chris Jericho For The WWE Championship: Taking a look at the Situation

This past Friday on Smackdown, Gregory Helms made a return to Smackdown after nearly a month off television. When we last saw Helms, he Chokeslammed Chris Jericho through a Table during the Contract Signing for Jericho's match with CM Punk at Judgment Day. Helms left for a while to train, and returned in time to challenge Jericho.

The Rivalry between Helms and Jericho started at Backlash when Helms came to the ring as "The Hurricane" to compete in a 21-Man Battle Royal in which the winner would earn a shot at the World Championship on their respective brand. Chris Jericho attacked Helms during his entrance, throwing him into the steel security barricade on the ramp and preventing him from competing in the match. This was after Jericho had lost a match to The Undertaker earlier in the night, and Jericho wasn't scheduled to compete in the Battle Royal.

Helms isn't really known for being a Main Eventer, but after Chokeslamming Chris Jericho through a Table, and now with this match that was announced by Triple H on Smackdown, he's pretty much been elevated to that level. We think that Helms deserves the match, but do we think he'll win? Sadly, no. We see Jericho picking up the victory at The Bash as he'll prove too experienced for Helms. Only time will tell.
