AEW ALL OUT 2022 was wild.
Everyone remembers the brawl involving CM Punk and The Elite after the post-show press conference.
Would you believe that the incident actually made the AEW locker room stronger?
Chris Jericho does.
"The Ocho" spoke with the Daily Mail to promote AEW ALL IN 2023 at Wembley Stadium in London, England on Sunday, and during the discussion, he spoke about how the AEW ALL OUT 2022 incident actually made the AEW locker room stronger.
"We just let people know that everything’s gonna be OK. We are a great locker room with great people and a lot of momentum for our company that’s still very young and things happen sometimes," Jericho said. "There was a lot of uncertainty. We’ve got a lot of young guys and girls on our roster who have never been through stuff like this before, but it’s a part of the business, it happens. We were really getting painted with an unfair brush by the media in a lot of ways like ‘it’s a dumpster fire in the locker room’ and that wasn’t the case. And I don’t want people to believe what they’re reading and think that it’s real, because it wasn’t."
Jericho continued, "You go through things like that, fights and that sort of thing, I’ve been in them myself with locker room brawls You’ve got to continue forward and Mox, Danielson and I just really wanted to grab the horse by the reins before it got out of control and just let people know that if you have concerns let’s discuss them, if you have issues let’s discuss them but let’s get through them together and come through stronger on the back end.I think we really came together well which was great for the locker room and for the fans because the fans too want to know that everything is going to continue moving forward. And I think we did a really good job of righting the ship and most importantly letting people know that it’s going to be OK. It’s not the end of the world. These things happen and we deal with them and we become stronger as a result, which we have."
