AEW Top Star Drops Huge CM Punk Reference at Dynamite in Chicago Amid WWE’s Denial of Return Rumors

After successfully defending his title against ‘Switchblade’ Jay White at Full Gear, MJF is now being targeted by Samoa Joe. Joe has his sights set on MJF’s AEW World Championship. On this week’s Dynamite, the former WWE star confronted MJF. During their heated confrontation, MJF brought up CM Punk, which prompted fans to take notice.

On 2nd November, Joe became the longest-reigning ROH World Television Champion at 574 days. But just a week later, on 10th November, he vacated the title so he could focus more on the AEW World Championship.

Samoa Joe wasted no time in going face-to-face with MJF, whose championship he desperately wants to make his. While having a fiery confrontation with Joe on Dynamite, MJF brought up CM Punk by saying, “You wouldn’t be the first Ring Of Honor legend I beat here in Chicago…twice!!”.

Chicago, Illinois also happens to be the hometown of CM Punk. That’s also where Survivor Series WarGames will be taking place on Saturday. This got fans very excited as they remarked that MJF made those comments in light of CM Punk’s potential return to the WWE.

But this heated confrontation between the two AEW heavyweights led to a very important match at the PPV Worlds End.

MJF’s initial response to a rematch for the title was a clear no. This infuriated Joe and just before he could thrash an already injured MJF, his best mate Adam Cole intervened.

He pleaded with Samoa Joe to give him some time to convince MJF for the title rematch. And after a lot of persuasion, MJF finally agreed to have a title match against Samoa Joe on 30th December at the PPV Worlds End.

Joe then left the ring by saying, “I’m gonna beat you unmercifully, strangle you unconscious, and take your world championship in front of your friends, family, everyone you know and love”. This threathening message left MJF and the crowd completely dumbstruck. But what are your thoughts on the possible return of CM Punk to the WWE at Survivor Series?
