CM Punk is inarguably one of the biggest names in the world of professional wrestling. The AEW superstar has appeared in several wrestling promotions. Out of all the rivalries Punk had over the years, his rivalry with Samoa Joe will be the standout one. Punk recently recalled the iconic trilogy against Samoa Joe.
The iconic trilogy completed 17 years recently. Remembering one of his best battles in the squared circle, Punk posted out an interesting tweet. In his tweet, Punk accused Joe of bribing the referee during the third fight of their iconic trilogy in 2004. In his tweet, Punk wrote, “I was bleeding and you were putting your feet on the ropes and probably paid off the ref.”
