Chris Jericho returned with a new episode of his "Talk Is Jericho" podcast this week, during which he spoke about some hot topics from the world of All Elite Wrestling.
During the show, "The Ocho" discussed the aftermath of the CM Punk incident behind-the-scenes in AEW, as well as his recent in-ring showdown with "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the episode where he touches on these topics.
On Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley and himself showing the AEW roster that the sky wasn’t falling after CM Punk incident: "We were fighting for our lives at that time. There was so much bad publicity on the company and kind of a black cloud, a haze over it, and dude, we were fighting back. We kind of took charge, [Jon Moxley] and Bryan and I and let them know the sky wasn’t falling, that things happen, and we gotta keep the show rolling."
On getting to wrestle Bryan Danielson: "Having that match with Bryan Danielson was one of them and I remember after working with Bryan the first time, I was like, ‘Where have you been all my life? Like how crazy has it been that we’ve been working together in this business but never actually having matches like this. This year I think I’ve wrestled double the amount of matches I’ve had in the last five years."
