Despite not crossing paths on AEW TV, the bitter rivalry between CM Punk and Chris Jericho has taken many twists and turns on social media. But did their meeting go according to plan?

Jericho was one of the people Punk called out in his Instagram story back in March 2023. The "Straight Edge Superstar" called "The Ocho" a stooge and a liar.

This was in response to Jericho calling Punk a "cancer" in the locker room. But with the two looking to share a locker room once again, a meeting was planned between the two men to try and put the past behind both of them.

According to a source close to Wade Keller of PWTorch, the meeting between CM Punk and Chris Jericho went well, with neither man becoming overly aggressive with the other party.

AEW Tag Team Champions FTR were reportedly present for the meeting as they are arguably the two men closest to Punk in All Elite Wrestling. But there is no word on whether they played a major role in keeping everybody's tempers down.

One of the reasons why some may think the feud between CM Punk and Chris Jericho is surprising is due to the fact that they have worked well with each other on multiple occasions in the past.

The two men met each other a number of times during their time in WWE between 2008 and 2013, including a lengthy feud over the WWE Championship in 2012. That led to them facing each other at WrestleMania 28 and Extreme Rules in Chicago.

The last one-on-one encounter between Jericho and Punk came at the Payback pay-per-view in 2013. The "Straight Edge Superstar" returned to WWE after losing to The Undertaker at WrestleMania 29.
