Now I truly believe that one

[@KAPTAINmORGANnWo4eva]

When Punk initially left Jericho basically predicted exactly what Punk did. He said something to the effect of "he'll go off and do other things for a few years, be drawn back to wrestling, and within a decade or so be back in WWE"

[@kingdomofanimaria]

Yh I remember that Jericho said he felt the same way punk did when he left in 2005 when he said he would never go back to wwe and returned 2 years later punk response was he wouldn’t do the same thing Jericho did on the colt cabana podcast

[@cngotham4111]

​@kingdomofanimaria I mean in respects to punk he lasted a whole lot longer then Jericho. Jericho was 2 years while punk was about a decade.

[@SM.11183]

Tbh it's not like he did the same, took him pretty much almost 5 times the amount that jericho did. But after the way AEW treated him, i guess any motivation he still needed to return was given to him on a silver platter.@@kingdomofanimaria

[@andrewsparkes6275]

​@@SM.11183He was effectively back in WWE in 2019, don't forget. While his salary was paid for by Fox, it was a show entirely based around WWE and otherwise produced by WWE. He may not have appeared in a WWE ring, but neither does Kevin Dunn and no-one says Dunn isn't part of WWE.

[@yousafihsan167]

Jericho is one of the most charismatic wrestlers in wrestling history. He has stayed revalent in wrestling for over 30 years

[@ninetimesaday]

He's in the top 10 of the greatest wrestlers of all time. A underrated goat.

[@Peppers19781978]

[@g-dub5272]

If Bret can come back and shake hands with Shawn in the middle of the ring then Punk returning shouldn’t be a surprise.

[@Peppers19781978]

Plus Bret also lost his brother and there was that whole dark cloud that divided the Hart family over it. So Bret more than anyone had loads of bad blood between him and WWE.

[@SheanWalsh46]

make peace and shake hands with Martha Hart is way harder than shake hands with CM Punk.

[@DeeEight]

The Hell froze over quote was literally Punk copying Bret's exact words.

[@GypsyDanger514]

That’s a very valid point

[@bobbydelacroix1515]

I noticed how after the fight with Perry, Jericho has had nothing but good things to say about CM Punk

[@barrymccockiner773]

It proved to everyone that the Cucamonga Clique is the problem backstage.

[@demonsuckafucka6828]

Why did they fire Punk though? Why didn't they fire that jobber instead of their top Star lol

[@-Trauma.]

Man, that's honestly why I can't respect Jericho anymore.

[@jasonjackson1708]

​@@demonsuckafucka6828Because the unprofessional element in that company was never leaving and never going to be held in check, and Punk was never going to take that shit. It was different after Brawl Out when Jericho held Punk over the coals. We didn't know about Hangman shooting or the idiocy about Cabana, so burying Punk helps keep the company in good position in that spot. After all, we all saw the scrum. But with Perry? He was already becoming known as an entitled piece of shit, especially to fans... but then you publicly shit on what Punk told you TO KEEP YOU, YOUR COLLEAGUES, AND THE PROMOTION SAFE from liability? Especially Jericho can't say anything on that, we know Chris had multiple backstage fights on his record, and I'm sure Jericho probably socks Perry too, in that situation.

[@VitZ9]

​@@demonsuckafucka6828Because Punk made Tony "fear for his life". 😆

[@michaelvazquez7851]

I enjoyed watching this interview

[@robertharper8071]

I would love to see Jericho back!!!!!!!!

[@5150crazyfun]

I like how Jericho dismisses AEW's botching Punk while he was there. They had more viewers and he still is a top merchandise seller for them. And he actually had a show built for him. We wouldn't be seeing Punk in WWE right now if Tony Khan was any kind of leader. He allowed immature boys the EVPs and their friends to run off the biggest draw they had. And now he's back in WWE selling a ton of merchandise and bringing more eyes to WWE again.

[@KingDeuces22]

I think Jericho is ultimately right with his take. It’s possible that Punk in AEW just didn’t mesh well with their culture. That doesn’t mean he’s a “cancer” or a huge issue. Jericho had similar problems with talent in his day. It’s also possible that Punk has a problem-free run in WWE. Not sure why everyone has to be so antagonistic about it. I think we can see Punk and AEW execs didn’t get along at all, and I think we can see he’s going to have zero issues in the WWE because of its rigid hierarchy in modern times. Win-win.

[@BillSavage]

it seems like Jericho is starting to speak more highly of WWE recently.

[@king_aries879]

I noticed that too😂

[@shadow_realm47]

Jericho behind the scenes is telling mox rusev and Joe to jump ship for sure😂

[@caesar3909]

With all the attention & sold out arenas for WWE, I bet Jericho is probably thinking about making Tony Khan fear for his life so he can also go back home.

WWE fanboys are plenty, mostly through playing WWE2K videogames. It doesn't make it a better show. Same storylines for over a decade and obvious payoffs which are known months in advance. It's stale and everyone knows it.

[@D2Kprime]

When there is money to be made, there *IS* no "forbidden door" in WWE. If Vince hasn't brought someone back or someone in, it is simply because Vince didn't think he could make money with them. Simple as that.

It shouldn't be a surprise cuz they ALL come back. There were people with much worse issues that came back so punk being back isnt some impossible coming possible. Its just that ofc there has been a generational chnage in audiences and most people now haven't lived through the eras where people had issues and fights (including me), Punk is def the biggest controversy of 2010s and 2020s aka the modern-day era so that's all people focus on

[@VyceryonNet]

But that’s the thing Chris, it wasn’t Vince, it was Triple H who brought CM Punk back, Vince really hasn’t had control of WWE in like 2-3 months, TKO made him an office boy, he only has about 10% control anymore, CEO on paper only, and forbid him from touching Creative, who they made Triple H & Shawn Michaels exclusively in control of ALL WWE creative, and last I checked, as a result Vince was looking to sell his shares of the TKO stock. It’s TKO punishing Vince, because they noticed the stuff Vince put on TV drew significantly less ratings than the things Triple H put on TV. Nevertheless I’m guessing it wasn’t a pleasant Christmas or Thanksgiving at the McMahon household,and I would’ve loved to be there as Vince looked across the table at the guy who replaced him by force.

About a month after Punk left AEW Jericho said "We know the issues. The issues have been rectified...", and he said that AEW is better than it was a month ago. Imagine if Steve Austin (that era's Punk) left WWE and someone said that WWE is better without him.. Jericho is a two faced snake

Imagine if Austin was a dick, and rock, HHH, HBK Bret Hart and all the other guys didn't wanna work with him, would Austin be as big as he was? That's the point with Punk, no doubt he was their biggest draw. But nobody wanted to work with him, and it wasn't for lack of trying. Nobody is irreplaceable.
