AEW star Chris Jericho “liked” a tweet from someone on Twitter who gave the opinion that CM Punk ostracized himself and became so toxic to AEW that it wasn’t worth having him around.
The “like” by Jerico implies that he agrees with the tweet. Of course, there’s always the possibility that he meant to just bookmark the tweet or he “liked” it by accident but Jericho rarely does anything by accident.
Here is what was said in the tweet by user @Ibladedaily:
“Imagine that you’re CM Punk. You’ve had one of the most triumphant comebacks ever in the history of wrestling. You’ve been promoted as the star you never got to be in WWE. And within a year, you completely ostracize yourself, becoming so toxic that you’re not worth having around.
You cannot bring Punk back w/o ostracizing the rest of the locker room. He buried them all in public on a night he won the AEW World Championship and sucked the life out of a PPV that cost millions to produce. Let him go to WWE, he’s proven he’s not the man he says he is already.”
As was previously reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter and Pro Wrestling Torch, the belief is that Punk will not return to AEW. Dave Meltzer reported that there are talks between AEW and Punk about a contract buyout.
Keller reported that Jericho, Jon Moxley, and Bryan Danielson have taken on leadership roles backstage.
