Below are some top WWE news stories of the day, involving Chris Jericho, CM Punk, Samoa Joe and AJ Styles.
• During an interview with Chris Van Vliet, current AEW Superstar Chris Jericho had the following to say about CM Punk returning to WWE, just a few months after being fired from All Elite Wrestling:
“I mean it doesn’t surprise me. It’s the Vince attitude like if you can make money with somebody then you bring them back.
He brought back the nWo, he brought (Eric) Bischoff in. And Vince isn’t in charge. But Triple H learned from Vince once again and the fans – keeping the fans entertained and happy – man look, he came back and it was the highest viewed social media segment that they’ve ever had.
So right out of the gate, it was a benefit to them. So it didn’t surprise me.”
Jericho recently noted on Twitter that he wanted to renew his WWE rivalry with Punk and face him in AEW as well.
Their most famous match against each other took place at WrestleMania 28 in 2012, where Punk defeated Jericho to retain the WWE Championship.
• During an interview on the Out Of Character podcast, Samoa Joe revealed why he loves to put AJ Styles in the Coquina Clutch because of Styles’ shampoo!
Here’s what Joe said about his longtime TNA/ROH/WWE rival:
“When he goes lavender or to the body shop and gets the good stuff, trust me, it’s a great night for me. When I’m driving home at night, I don’t feel so bad about all the horrible things I did to the people I care about.”
