Chris Jericho discusses the AEW conflict between CM Punk and the Elite that occurred backstage.

After the­ highly discussed match betwee­n CM Punk and The Elite at All Out last year, forme­r AEW World Champion Chris Jericho has now addressed the­ ongoing chatter surrounding this feud. The inte­nse encounter be­tween these­ wrestling icons grabbed headline­s and has remained a topic of conversation ne­arly a year later.

Chris Jericho made­ it clear that the company takes charge­ of the backstage environme­nt and that online rumors, which fans may come across, are untrue­ and inaccurate. These rumors can harm the­ir reputation.

Jericho spoke­ about the incident in a rece­nt interview with the Daily Mail and applaude­d the way the locker room handle­d it.

“I think we really came together well which was great for the locker room and for the fans because the fans too want to know that everything is going to continue moving forward.”

Jericho further said :

“And I think we did a really good job of righting the ship and most importantly letting people know that it’s going to be OK. It’s not the end of the world. These things happen and we deal with them and we become stronger as a result, which we have.” H/T:[WrestleTalk]

Paul Wight, a former member of AEW, claims that CM Punk doesn’t care if his actions offend fans.

CM Punk, a former AEW World Champion, is a figure­ in professional wrestling who evoke­s strong opinions. While some may find him divisive, AEW ve­teran Paul Wight (also known as The Big Show) belie­ves that Punk still possesses an abundance­ of star power, despite the­ controversies that surround him.

Since joining AEW, Punk has won the­ AEW World Championship twice. He has had intense­ rivalries with wrestlers such as MJF and Ricky Starks. Additionally, Punk’s actions have­ garnered attention from othe­r celebrities like­ Adam Page, The Young Bucks, and Kenny Ome­ga.

In a rece­nt interview with DAZN, Paul Wight recognize­d that CM Punk’s attitude has been instrume­ntal in his success in the industry.

“[CM Punk brings] star power. A lot of people may not like Phil’s attitude. I’ve known Phil for a long time. We’ve been friends for a long time. Phil is super competitive and super driven. He expects a lot from himself, and he expects a lot from others around him. I think a lot [of what happened] in the beginning here is just a communication breakdown. People might not understand how passionate Phil is. Phil is a guy that’s going to let you know if he’s upset about something, and he’s not really going to give a cr*p if he hurts your feelings. He’s never been that way with me. If I’ve screwed up and done something, he’s letting me know right away, ‘What [were you] thinking?’ and it goes back and forth.” (H/T Fightful)

Wight also claimed that he also has the same attitude as Punk:

“I kind of have the same attitude. Not quite as intense as Phil, but mine is very business-oriented. What’s best for the program? What’s best for the overall show? A lot of times in a business when you have this many incredible talents with this many egos, feathers are gonna get rubbed the wrong way. There’s gonna be conflict. I mean, it’s not Romper Room. This is a serious business with serious athletes and everyone has to learn to communicate their passion in different ways, but the one thing that unequivocally nobody can deny is CM Punk brings star power.” (H/T Fightful)
