Jim Cornet replied “I have news for you; I’ve seen about 25 things that happened on AEW TV that if The Undertaker had been in the locker room, he would have shut that down.

Jim Cornette wasn’t ready to accept that Jericho could play even a tiny role as the WWE legend. Unlike The Phenom, Cornette imagines that Chris Jericho isn’t a humble, loveable shoe shiner.
The Undertaker would have done his job unlike AEW Star
According to the WWE executive, whatever happens in the AEW lineup and locker room, Chris Jericho is not acting behind the scenes. Jim thinks if it was The Phenom in the same locker room, he would have taken steps to improve the situation.
