Chris Jericho and CM Punk have had heat with each other going back to at least the AEW All Out event following Punk’s comments at the post-event conference and then his backstage brawl with The Elite.
At All Out, Jericho reportedly told Punk that he was a cancer to the promotion. When Punk went on a rant via Instagram, it included him ripping Jon Moxley, Dave Meltzer, and Jericho.
As previously reported, AEW tentatively has plans for Punk to make his return to television on the June 21 edition of Dynamite. There is a planned meeting with AEW President Khan, Punk, Jericho, and more happening soon.
However, based on some recent tweets by Jericho, the former AEW World Heavyweight Champion doesn’t want to work with Punk.
He responded to a tweet from someone who had attached a photo of Jericho and Punk together with the caption, “Chris Jericho @IAmJericho, correct me if I am wrong but you’ve always been willing to work with everyone and you always do what’s best for business. People are foolish to suggest otherwise. -TJ.”
Jericho responded, “Not everyone.”
After a media outlet shared a screenshot of the post, Jericho stated, “I don’t play games guys….”
