Chris Jericho is back in the news this week after trending on social media for accusations made against him, his exchange with CM Punk’s lawyer, and more. He’s in the headlines for a reported altercation on his cruise.
Background
Jericho had been with MVP for years, but that friendship is no longer. In June 2022, it was reported that MVP confronted Jericho at a hotel in Houston, TX, where several AEW stars stayed in town for a Dynamite event while MVP was there to visit Matt Hardy, who was talking with Jericho.
This led to them exchanging words before Jericho got on an elevator. Right before the doors were about to close, he told MVP that he doesn’t fight jobbers. MVP was said to be screaming about it in the lobby.
At the time, it was reported the confrontation boiled down to social and political issues, which were made public on Twitter. The two had a private exchange that further distanced them. MVP previously stated the incident didn’t exactly happen the way the initial story going around was made out to be.

The latest
Brian Last said on an episode of the “Cornette’s Drive Thru” podcast that he knew a story he couldn’t tell because he didn’t have permission about Jericho getting knocked out on his own cruise ship by someone he mouthed off to.
Cassidy Haynes of BodySlam.net reported that MVP knocked out Jericho during an altercation on the Chris Jericho Cruise in January 2020 after an altercation between them. Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful confirmed he also heard the story less than a year ago.
I'd heard this story just under a year ago myself, after we'd reported the issues between MVP and Jericho https://t.co/OrgC03l4jz
