Chris Jericho Helps Fan Propose Inside a WWE Ring

Chris Jericho has helped a WWE fan propose to his now fiancé inside of a WWE ring in Melbourne, Australia. Y2J helped Daniel House of Tasmania propose marriage to his then girlfriend Mikala, and did so in front of the WWE Universe.

At the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, where WWE held a Live Event on Aug. 6, Jericho invited House, Mikala, and House’s daughter into the ring after he had won his match of the night. House and Jericho knew each other from Fozzy’s 2013 Winter tour of the region.

Jericho, and the band, learned that House was diagnosed with terminal cancer during the tour. They quickly found him through social media, brought him backstage at their show, and sparked up a friendship. Jericho commented on his relationship with House to WWE saying,

“We found out he was diagnosed in September and was given three months to live, which was December/January. We kept in touch with him and really got behind him as a friend. He became an inspiration. Not only is he a Fozzy fan, but he’s a big WWE fan and a big Chris Jericho fan.”

Jericho and House have kept in touch through Social Media, and when House saw that WWE was coming to Melbourne, he asked Y2J for help in surprising Mikala. Jericho then asked Triple H if they could make the proposal happen after filling him in on House’s story.  Triple H got on board, and House’s dream came true.

Jericho says,

“Everyone at WWE agreed it was the cool thing to do. Basically, Daniel came in the ring and asked his girlfriend to look at the billboard, which said ‘Will you marry me, Mikala?’ She said yes. The best part of all was as soon as he asked the question, 15,000 fans starting chanting ‘Yes!’ which is pretty cool.”

House also commented on the situation and what Jericho’s act of friendship has done for his life and relationship,

“I’ve asked her to marry me in silly situations – not seriously. The response is always ‘If you’re going to do it, it needs to be big.’ I figured what bigger way to do it than in front of 12,000 people? It was huge. I’ve been a WWE fan my whole life,” Daniel said. “To have the opportunity to get in the ring and hear the crowd reaction – once I realized what was going on, they started chanting ‘Yes!’ – it was just amazing.”

Editor’s Note:
This is beyond awesome. Say what you will about Triple H, but the Connor Michalek situation, and now this one proves the man has a huge heart. And how about Jericho? One of the most awesome dudes to ever step foot in a squared circle, and obviously one of the best outside of it.
