mobanmarketChris Jericho says he doesn't need to be friends with CM Punk to work with him in AEW.
Jericho was asked about Punk's possible return to the company during an appearance on Mark Madden's radio show on Friday. Madden suggested that Jericho was not on Punk's "Christmas Card List" but Jericho responded that he doesn't need to be.
Jericho said:
I'm not (on Punk's Christmas card list) but I wasn't on Scott Hall's Christmas card list, or I wasn't on Eric Bischoff's Christmas card list, you don't have to be best friends to co-exist. To me, that's not really my wheelhouse, I'm not in charge of that. I'm sure there will be some answers to that pretty quickly, I would assume, either way. But to us, AEW is going to thrive and survive with or without him.
The topic of Punk potentially returning to AEW was addressed on Friday by our own Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Meltzer wrote that a reconciliation plan between Punk and AEW had been agreed upon before Punk made controversial comments in a quickly-deleted Instagram post last week. Where the situation stands now is unclear.

The situation with C.M. Punk became a bigger story this week when he put up an instagram post where he went off on Tony Khan, Jon Moxley, myself and Chris Jericho, which he immediately took down. This came while sides were working on a reconciliation that was at least in principle agreed to, per the decision of Khan who wanted him back.
