Chris Jericho Reacts To CM Punk Wrestling His First Match In A Decade for WWE

Chris Jericho has been pretty active on social media the past few days and has garnered some buzz because of it.

Over the Christmas holiday, Jericho and Steve P. New, an attorney who has represented several wrestling personalities over his career,  exchanged words back and forth due to the impending litigation surrounding the “Brawl Out” incident in September 2022. New happens to represent CM Punk and Ace Steel in the legal dispute and the argument he and Jericho were having was over non-disclosure agreements.

Jericho says he never signed an NDA while New states it would be in his employee handbook. This led to a contentious exchange where Jericho called New a “mark” and said what he saw went down was “truly disgusting” in the infamous backstage incident.

Chris Jericho Tips Cap To CM Punk & WWE

Despite Jericho having contention with New, it appears to want to keep things copacetic with CM Punk and WWE.

Punk made his in-ring return for WWE Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden to face Dominik Mysterio and WWE posted a video of Punk’s entrance up on Instagram. Jericho decided to leave a comment of his one, simply putting “Congrats” with three flame emojis.

From an outsider’s perspective, Punk and Jericho’s relationship in the past has appeared rocky. During the All Out incident, Fightful Select reported that numerous sources cited Jericho calling Punk a “a cancer” in the locker room. However, Jericho also noted that Punk exiting AEW was a “regrettable” situation.
