Chris Jericho says the AEW locker room viewed CM Punk‘s return to WWE as business as usual.
Former AEW World Champion CM Punk made his shocking return to WWE at WWE Survivor Series, and fans have been buzzing about the move ever since. Given Punk’s star power, some critics have seen it as a significant loss for the AEW roster.
Speaking with WFAA, Chris Jericho was asked to comment on the backstage reaction in AEW to CM Punk’s return to WWE.
“Business as usual, man. It happens,” Chris Jericho said. “Same reason I’m sure there wasn’t a big reaction when Adam Copeland came to AEW, or even Will Ospreay signed with AEW, or when Danielson and Moxley and Adam Cole came to AEW. It’s good for the business that guys have the ability to go between companies. It’s great for the fans, and it’s great for the talent overall. It just makes the business stronger, and that’s the most important thing.”
