It looks like AEW have began to mend fences within their company starting recently.
Chris Jericho and CM Punk were recently reported to be sitting down for a meeting sometime soon. This comes after the AEW All Out Brawl that led to Punk’s current hiatus.
Fightful Select now reports that not only has the meeting happened, but it appears the pair will be able to work together without issue.
Fightful Select
We’d reported that Jericho and Punk were set to meet and speak with one another, and we’ve learned that happened over the last week. Those familiar with the situation said that the meeting was relatively uneventful all things considered, and especially when taken into consideration the issues the two have had. When Punk first joined AEW, we’re told that Jericho approached Punk to establish that bygones were bygones, and Punk had replied in kind, as long as there were no reason to have issues going forward. Jericho was have said to have shouted at Punk after Brawl Out, and Punk called Jericho a stooge during a recent Instagram stories post. Sources familiar with the situation also claimed that it seemed as if the two could end up working together without issue, but also pointed towards Punk’s recent history, as well as Jericho’s long-term history of welcoming confrontation.
We will have to see if the two will be working together when Punk makes his return to AEW but for now it appears things are moving in the right direction.
Punk also recently was backstage at Monday Night RAW. You can read more here.
