• Update On How The Chris Jericho – CM Punk Meeting Went
CM Punk is scheduled to return to AEW programming in the coming months and he had a meeting with Chris Jericho (who is a locker room leader in All Elite Wrestling) last week to put their issues aside.
PWTorch discussed this situation and also Punk’s appearance backstage at RAW.
Below are the highlights:
CM Punk showing up at RAW in Chicago:
“Sounds like Punk didn’t just show up cold. He was on a flight with some people and, connecting dots only here, some people made it seem the idea entered Punk’s head based on his interactions with WWE people on that flight that maybe he’d be welcome or it’d be a good idea to visit RAW.
It sounds like Tony Khan was not given a heads up on this. The indications point towards Punk just kind of did this with the idea ostensibly being it’s not a big deal.
It’s just that he wanted to say hi to some friends when they’re in Chicago. Part of me just thinks this is going to kind of blow over as a non-factor in the big picture trajectory of Punk in AEW.”
The CM Punk – Chris Jericho meeting:
“I heard the meeting took place with Jericho and FTR. I think it was supposed to be on Friday. That might have been why he was in Tampa and I just heard from one source that it went well.”

• On This Day In Pro Wrestling History (April 27, 2015) – Old School Wrestling Legend Passed Away
On this day in 2015, we lost Old School Wrestling Legend Verne Gagne at the age of 89 due to alzheimer’s disease.
Verne used to be a multiple time amateur wrestling champion and even represented the United States Olympic Team at the 1948 Olympic Games.
Most Old School Wrestling fans remember Gagne as the promoter of the legendary ‘American Wrestling Association’ territory, including 10 title reigns as their World Heavyweight Champion.
In 2006, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by his son Greg Gagne, the night before WrestleMania 22, years after he was already inducted into the short-lived WCW Hall of Fame in 1993.
† REST IN PEACE VERNE GAGNE
February 26, 1926 – April 27, 2015
