The long-awaited showdown between and MJF and CM Punk went down on tonight’s edition of AEW Dynamite from the hometown of Punk, Chicago. However, the altercation became more and more personal and eventually, WWE appeared in the conversation.
Last week on Dynamite, while MJF was cutting a promo, CM Punk made his way out but didn’t say a word, and the crowd went berzerk with the idea of the two of them fighting inside the squared circle.

Tonight on Dynamite, MJF referenced Punk’s past accomplishments and noted that he is just a shadow of his former self. They both exchanged words – The Miz, John Cena, and Triple H popped up.
As always, the Chicago crowd showed all the love in the world for their native hero. However, MJF was having none of that and he just blatantly insulted Punk in his hometown.

The war of words between MJF and CM Punk
MJF was pretty hard on Punk and mentioned his straight-edge lifestyle but mocked him by saying that even though Punk is straight-edge, he still looks like a drug addict.
MJF then ran his mouth and said that no matter where CM Punk went he will always be the second-best and this included AEW as well.
Eventually, Punk shut MJF down by saying that he didn’t realize that MJF stands for Maxwell Jacob Friedman, instead, he thought that MJF stood for Most Jealous Fan because Punk didn’t mention his names in any of the interviews. Furthermore, he even said that MJF is a less famous Miz, taking a dig at WWE.

MJF then referenced John Cena and said that Punk is no longer an outlaw but has turned into the PG Punk and he might even bring Hustle, Loyalty, Respect to AEW.
Punk even said that the only way MJF can become the man of the company is by waiting long enough for Tony Khan to have a daughter and then marrying her, this was a direct jab at Triple H when he married Vince McMahon’s daughter, Stephanie McMahon.
