Darby Allin and Sting saved CM Punk on AEW Dynamite
This Wednesday on an episode of AEW Dynamite, Punk made his way out to the ring to address the crowd. During the segment, Punk admitted that he might bore a few fans by coming out and speaking each week.
However, Punk noted that he will not stop doing it because he wants to feel ‘The Cult of Personality’ (his theme song) and the roar of the fans.
As he was cutting the promo, suddenly 2.0 made their way out and ambushed Punk. ‘The Best in the World’ was quickly outnumbered by the 3 on 1 attack.
