Chris Jericho said “of course” he’d love to see CM Punk in AEW before “The Painmaker” expanded on that thought. The man with two more labours spoke with Gary Cassidy of Inside The Ropes about the possibility of getting his once WrestleMania partner in the All Elite mix.
“Well, I mean, the short answer is, ‘Of course.’ I mean, he’s one of the few guys out there that has has this mythology surrounding him because he hasn’t wrestled so long,” Jericho said, noting that Punk being apart of the promotion would add more spark to the electricity AEW is already cultivating.
“It would create a huge buzz that would add to the already huge buzz that we have, and I think just the fact that 12,000 tickets sold at the United Center without one name even being announced, or one match even being announced, shows just how much anticipation there is for all of these things. So, yeah, we’ll see what happens.” Chris did state he doesn’t know either way if Punk has signed a deal with AEW or not.
“It’s something that I know nothing about. Obviously, it’s intriguing and I’ll be watching along with everybody else to see what happens. But we’ve got great momentum without Punk and we’ll have great momentum continuing without him, and great momentum with him if he shows up. So either way, I think we’ve built ourselves up into a great position right now.”
