AEW Stars Settle Real-Life Heat Backstage At Dynamite

Two real-life AEW rivals have cleared the air.

Although MVP’s arrival in AEW at Grand Slam on September 25th wasn’t exactly a surprise, his debut did raise a significant number of questions.

While the former WWE star had been friends with Chris Jericho in the past, it’s no secret that their relationship has deteriorated spectacularly in more recent years. This included reports of Chris Jericho being knocked out by MVP on his “Jericho Cruise” in January 2020.

There was a also second incident where they were seen arguing in a hotel, although it seems this altercation was entirely verbal.

With this in mind, many fans have wondered what this could mean for the backstage harmony in AEW, especially given the company’s well-publicised history of locker room issues.
