Jim Cornette replied, “I got news for you; I’ve seen about 25 things that happened on AEW television that if The Undertaker had been in the locker room, he would have shut that s**t down.”

Jim Cornette was not ready to accept that Jericho could even play a tiny part of the WWE legend. Unlike The Phenom, Cornette imagines that Chris Jericho is not a humble and lovable shoeshine boy.

The Undertaker would have done his job unlike AEW Star

According to the WWE Executive, whatever happens in the AEW programming and locker room, Chris Jericho is not taking action behind the scenes. Jim believes that if it was The Phenom in the same locker room, he would have taken steps to improve the situation.

He added, “How egregiously f**king egotistical can you be? He [Chris Jericho] did the obligatory, ‘No, no there’s no comparison,’ then made all the comparisons that he thinks he’s in that position that The Undertaker genuinely, truthfully was in, as this authority figure that will f**king keep everybody straight and obviously he ain’t doing that job because nobody’s keeping any of that s**t straight.”
