August 2, 2011

Chris Jericho caused quite a stir on Twitter last night, reacting negatively towards CM Punk mentioning his name on WWE Monday Night Raw. Jericho tweeted:

"Everyone is so excited that @CMPunk mentioned me on Raw. Newsflash…I don't give a shit. Mind ur own business and stop rippin me off Punk."

WrestleZone has learned exclusively from a key WWE insider that Jericho has been pitching for himself to work with Punk at WrestleMania next year. Additionally, we can confirm that this reaction is story line oriented, and that there is no real bad blood between Punk and Jericho following Raw tonight.
