It was previously reported that top All Elite Wrestling Star “The Demo God” Chris Jericho will be the next guest on an upcoming episode of Stone Cold Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Sessions podcast with WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin. Based on the announcement, the show is set to air this Sunday, April 11th, which is night two of WrestleMania 37 on Peacock in the United States and the WWE Network for international fans.
Former WWE Superstar CM Punk recently spoke with TMZ Sports on Chris Jericho’s upcoming appearance on Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Sessions podcast and said he thinks it’s interesting for sure, obviously, and he understands the buzz, so maybe he’ll give it a shot and watch it, but it feels like it’s going to be softball questions.
Punk also said it’s an interesting situation and it will probably be a feel-good interview where they talk about Jericho’s past in the WWE. CM Punk then said he’s sure they will mention AEW, but they won’t get into the hard questions that he thinks people are interested in.
This is what CM Punk said:
“I think it’s interesting for sure, obviously, I understand the buzz. Maybe I’ll give it a shot and watch it, but it feels like it’s going to be softball questions. I don’t if they’re going to ask Jericho all the tough questions and nor do I think that they possibly should. It’s an interesting situation and it’ll probably be a feel good interview where they 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 people are interested in.”
CM Punk also talked about in his opinion he thinks WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon isn’t afraid of AEW at all because if he was, he wouldn’t allow this podcast to happen. CM Punk also said there’ll be people that don’t know AEW even exists, but they will watch it and say they didn’t know this and they just thought Jericho was retired. Punk then said that it is a new age and both companies need all the eyeballs they can get at the moment, so kudos to everybody involved.
This is what CM Punk said:
“Honestly, my knee-jerk reaction and opinion is that I think it shows Vince McMahon isn’t afraid of AEW at all. If he was, he wouldn’t allow that to happen. Anytime anybody is talking about you, it is good. There will be people that don’t know AEW exists who will watch it and say, ‘cool, I didn’t know that, I just thought Jericho was retired.’ There is also something to be said about keeping your guys special and the only place you can see this superstar is on my television show. It’s a new age and both companies need all the eyeballs they can get at the moment, so kudos to everybody involved.”
