Chris Jericho will be appearing on Steve Austin’s Peacock show, Broken Skull Sessions on April 11th.
CM Punk spoke with TMZ about it and how he thinks the fact that Vince McMahon signed off on the AEW star appearing on the program shows that he’s not worried about AEW.
“I think it’s interesting for sure,” Punk told TMZ Sports. “Honestly, my major reaction and opinion on it is I think that it shows Vince McMahon isn’t afraid of AEW at all because if he was, he wouldn’t allow that to happen.”
“It feels like it’s gonna be softball questions,” said Punk. “I don’t know if they’re going to ask Jericho all the tough questions — and nor do I think that they possibly should.
It will probably just be like a feel-good interview. They’ll talk about Jericho’s past at WWE, I’m sure they’ll mention AEW but they won’t get into the hard questions that I think a lot of people would be interested in.
Anytime anybody’s talking about you, it’s good,” said Punk. “There will be people who don’t know AEW exists who will watch it and say ‘Oh wow cool, I didn’t know that, I just thought Jericho was retired.’ But, there is also something to be said about keeping your guys special and the only place you can see the superstar is on my television show.
It’s new age and I think both companies need all the eyeballs they can get at the moment so kudos to everybody involved.”
