Chris Jericho Makes Impactful Statement on Working CM Punk in the Future Upon Latter’s Imminent AEW Return

CM Punk is making waves once again in the wrestling world. His story about coming back to wrestling was amazing for his fans, but last year’s infamous backstage brawl soured the return. Since then everyone has given their thoughts on the incident. Even his former co-worker, Chris Jericho, has something to say, but the veteran knows all too well about direct shots at his co-workers, so he took the subtle way.

While we have seen Jericho and Punk go at it in the ring, it was over a decade ago in WWE. Since then, both Jericho and Punk have gone through many things. Jericho left WWE and reinvented himself on the indies and AEW while Punk tried his hand at MMA as well as came back to wrestling. So, what does Jericho think about Punk now, after everything that went down since the brawl?

Chris Jericho’s reply to a comment subtly hints at his stance on CM Punk in AEW

A few days ago, The Pro Wrestling World tweeted a vague tweet about Jericho being able to work with everyone, keeping his feelings aside for what’s best for business. The stark thing to notice in this tweet was that there was a photo of Jericho and Punk in the commentator’s booth attached to it. But Jericho subtly hinted at his stance by replying, “Not everyone.”

While we all know about Punk and The Elite getting into a backstage brawl at All Out 2022 PPV, but The Elite aren’t the only ones who have a beef with Punk. In a now-deleted rant, Punk dragged Jericho, Moxley, and popular wrestling journalist, Dave Meltzer.

Jericho didn’t hold back and promptly replied with another Instagram story with the GIF of Matt Hardy’s ‘delete’ sign. While we don’t know his specific view of Punk in AEW, this tweet just subtly hinted that Jericho is not a fan of ‘The Best in the World’.

Chris Jericho and CM Punk’s wrestling history

In WWE, we saw Jericho and Punk butt heads together in the ring many times. The most remarkable one was when Punk went one-on-one against Jericho at WrestleMania 28. Even though it was for the WWE Championship, it wasn’t the main event of the show.

This also fueled Punk to quit WWE in the future, being sidelined by other short-term returning wrestlers.

It’s interesting to note that Jericho and Punk never met in the ring during Punk’s short stint in AEW. With Punk set to return to AEW, it would be interesting to see if he works with the person he deemed, ‘as a liar and a stooge‘. But the future of them working together is minimal, given the back and forth between the two.
