Chris Jericho On The Backstage Reaction In AEW After CM Punk Altercation At All Out

CM Punk took several shots at Adam Page, MJF, Colt Cabana and The Elite during the post-show press conference following All Out and he was then involved in a physical altercation with The Elite. Several names were suspended following the brawl and the situation didn’t look good for AEW.

Chris Jericho recently discussed the fallout from the infamous brawl at All Out on Talk Is Jericho, and he noted that he and two other AEW stars took charge to make sure everyone knew the sky wasn’t falling.

“We were fighting for our lives at that time. There was so much bad publicity on the company and kind of a black cloud, a haze over it, and dude, we were fighting back. We kind of took charge, [Jon Moxley] and Bryan and I and let them know the sky wasn’t falling, that things happen, and we gotta keep the show rolling.”

Chris Jericho also commented on what it’s been like to wrestle Bryan Danielson when he added, “Having that match with Bryan Danielson was one of them and I remember after working with Bryan the first time, I was like, ‘Where have you been all my life? Like how crazy has it been that we’ve been working together in this business but never actually having matches like this. This year I think I’ve wrestled double the amount of matches I’ve had in the last five years.”
