AEW Dynamite opened in spectacular fashion this week. CM Punk and MJF had an opening segment which left the fans wanting more in subsequent episodes. What made the segment so special were the direct and indirect references to John Cena and Triple H.
MJF fired a shot at CM Punk after claiming Punk has always been the second-best throughout his career, whether it was to John Cena or Triple H. MJF referred Cena as the ‘You can’t see me man’ and Triple H as the ‘King of Kings’. Well, Punk took his revenge on MJF after indirectly referring to Triple H’s marriage with Vince McMahon’s daughter, Stephanie McMahon.

Punk claimed if he is not number one, then MJF is not the number one either. The former WWE superstar took an ugly shot at Triple H by stating the only way that MJF can become number one. Punk said, “The only way you are going to be number one is if we all wait around long enough for Tony (Khan) to have a daughter that you marry.”
It looked like an indirect reference to Triple H, who married the WWE chairman, Vince McMahon’s daughter, Stephanie McMahon. Do you think that Triple H’s marriage has any role to play in his legacy?

Britt Baker responds after CM Punk mentions her as one of AEW’s four pillars
In September, MJF mentioned that he, along with Darby Allin, Jungle Boy and Sammy Guevara, are the “four pillars” of AEW. According to him, all four of them have been in AEW right from the beginning. They are the future of the company who will take the company to the next level.
But Punk had a different opinion. During this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, CM Punk fired another shot at The Salt of the Earth. He said, “You’re too busy talking about how you are the most powerful of the four pillars. You don’t even realize you’ve been replaced by Britt Baker.”
Britt Baker is currently the AEW Women’s World Champion and a rising star in the franchise.
