AEW has managed to sign many former WWE Superstars to their promotion and one of their recent signings is MVP. The former United States Champion had heat with Chris Jericho who is a major player in Tony Khan's company. According to reports, both stars have patched things up and fans questioned why CM Punk couldn't do the same during his time in All Elite Wrestling.

MVP and Chris Jericho had a physical altercation a couple of years ago on the Jericho Cruise. The former WWE Champion and Montel Vontavious Porter repeatedly had another verbal exchange where both spat some alarming comments towards the other. The Franchise Playa made his All Elite Wrestling debut last month and recent reports have unveiled some interesting things about the heat between him and Y2J.

A report by Fightful Select stated that on his first night in All Elite Wrestling, MVP went straight to Chris Jericho's locker room and buried the hatchet. The former United States Champion was praised for the move backstage and has been interacting with The Ocho behind the scenes.

The fans reacted to the report and immediately called out CM Punk for not handling things the same way with Colt Cabana, Hangman Adam Page, The Young Bucks, and Jack Perry.

Some other fans praised MVP for his actions and stated that a feud between Jericho and him could be great.

"Good to hear. They would kill a promo segment together," a fan tweeted.
"He really is good at business!" this one wrotd.
"I would expect nothing less from MVP. He's a pro's pro," another tweeted.

Nic Nemeth believes AEW's Hurt Syndicate could be the company's version of The Bloodline

The Bloodline story in WWE has been running for the past several years and is one of the most successful angles filled with twists and turns. Former WWE Superstar Nic Nemeth (Dolph Ziggler) believes that MVP's new AEW stable could be the company's version of The Bloodline.

In a recent chat on Busted Open Radio, Nic Nemeth claimed that the group can be a version of The Bloodline by being a dominant faction having great interviews and promos. He said that the faction could be a major thing that sets the promotion apart.

"[MVP's new AEW stable] could be a version of The Bloodline, of just totally dominating but having great stories and having great interviews and promos and then backing it up with the work behind it... There could be something very special for this faction. It could be the new thing that sets them apart," said Nemeth.

MVP and Shelton Benjamin have already made their television debuts in AEW. It will be interesting to see if The All Mighty Bobby Lashley arrives soon.
