REPORTS: Former WWE US Champion Knocked Out Chris Jericho on a Cruise After Heated Exchange

It is safe to say that Chris Jericho has been dealing with some pretty tough times right now. The star got into a tough spot a few weeks ago when he got into an online banter with AEW’s legal personnel. Now the star became a topic of discussion when an old story of his came into the spotlight. This time, the story involves him being knocked out by a former WWE United States Champion and the ‘MVP’ of the company.

Who knocked out Chris Jericho?

According to reports, the C Man was knocked out by former WWE US and Tag Team Champion, MVP. The former champion has been with WWE since 2006 and is known for teaming up with Mark Henry. The said incident unfolded in January 2020. Jericho had organized a Rock and Wrestle-themed party on his cruise ship where MVP was also present. It was reported that the two got into a heated argument that led to MVP punching the now-AEW star and knocking him out.

However, this was not the only time the two had faced each other. Allegedly another similar incident happened following the first one. While the exact time as to when it happened is unknown, it stated that it happened after a year or two of the first incident. This time, the two encountered each other in a hotel lobby.

The events unfolded in a similar way, where the two got into a heated argument. This time, Jericho was able to save himself from getting knocked out. It was stated that he hurried to an elevator and shouted, “I don’t fight jobbers.” as the elevator doors closed.

No one was expecting Chris Jericho to become a hot topic in such a bad light. It all started when he decided to call out AEW’s legal official over a statement being made about NDAs at the company.

How did Chris Jericho get into trouble?

Right before Christmas Eve, the 53-year-old star got into an online argument with Stephen P. New. The said personnel has been the one who represented CM Punk and Ace Steel following the events of the 2022 AEW All Out. In an interview, New stated that the real story behind the backstage altercation might never come out as all the people involved are bound by a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). This somehow prompted Jericho to question the very existence of the agreement and a Playbook that all stars on the roster have to abide by.

He also stated that he had never heard of any such thing and he has never followed it. However, this prompted questions, and the rulebook was finally made public. This proved to be an embarrassing moment for the WWE veteran as he was proved wrong in front of his fans. As for now, there have been no comments from Jericho’s end on the situation. What do you think might happen next?
