Jeri-Show was a professional wrestling tag team, consisting of Chris Jericho and Big Show, which competed in the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) promotion. The duo made their debut in July 2009 at WWE's Night of Champions pay-per-view (PPV), where Jericho named Big Show as his tag team partner in his defense of the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship.
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, which was made up of the WWE Tag Team Championship and the World Tag Team Championship. The duo also headlined two of WWE's PPV events during their short tenure together; first at Survivor Series, while the second at TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs.
At The Bash, Jericho and his partner Edge, both heels, won the Unified Tag Team Championship (which consisted of the WWE Tag Team Championship and the World Tag Team Championship) as surprise entrants in a tag team match. When Edge suffered an injury 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.
On July 26, 2009, 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 tag team titles. As Unified Tag Team Champions, this allowed Jericho, from the SmackDown brand, and Big Show, from the Raw brand, to appear on both brands. Jeri-Show would then feud with Cryme Tyme, which culminated in a successful title defense for Jeri-Show at SummerSlam. Jericho and Big Show would then feud with MVP and Mark Henry, this would also result in another successful title defense for Jericho and Big Show at Breaking Point against the challengers. Next, Jeri-Show would move on to feud with Batista, who then challenged for the tag team titles with Jericho's rival Rey Mysterio at Hell in a Cell, where the tag team champions again successfully defended their titles.
