During last night's episode of AEW Dynamite in Chicago, AEW World Champion MJF made a reference to former AEW wrestler CM Punk. While reflecting on his matches at Full Gear, MJF took a jab at CM Punk, stating, "You wouldn't be the first ROH legend I beat here in Chicago, twice." This comment was in regard to MJF and Punk's previous singles match and their subsequent Dog Collar match at AEW Revolution.
In their first encounter, MJF attempted to cheat by using his wrist tape to choke out Punk, but the referee caught on, and the match continued. Eventually, with the help of Wardlow and the Dynamite Diamond Ring, MJF secured the win.
Interestingly, CM Punk's last opponent in AEW was Samoa Joe, who is set to face MJF at the upcoming Worlds End pay-per-view. Joe has promised to be MJF's security until the event, ensuring a fair title match.
The ongoing rivalry between MJF and Samoa Joe has created anticipation for the upcoming pay-per-view event. Fans are eager to see how this rivalry will unfold and its impact on the Worlds End pay-per-view in Long Island, New York.
