In-Ring: CM Punk

MJF’s music hits but CM Punk walks out instead and he gets MASSIVE boos from MJF’s hometown crowd and he soaks it all in. As he gets in the ring a smattering of “CM Punk” chants start but are quickly drowned out by more boos. He taunts them by saying Chicago is so much louder and gets boos poured all over him. Punk asks the crowd if MJF was their guy and then he pulls off his jacket revealing a Four Pillars of AEW shirt with Britt Baker on it in place of MJF. He calls MJF an incel, too.

Punk says he stepped to MJF in his face and all he did was run away like a coward and then hide behind his buddy. He says when he was a kid he hated Dennis Rodman because he played for the Pistons but then he played for the Bulls and he was his guy. He says Dennis was his “Worm,” so he understands that MJF is their “worm.” He says he isn’t mad at the fans, he just feels sad for them.

Punk says he wants next from the winner of Page/Danielson and he believes MJF wants next, too. He says they need to settle their thing before one of them goes on to fight for the title. He says MJF keeps running from him. Punk says if MJF is their hero he understands that because the Islanders haven’t won anything since 1984 either.

Punk challenges MJF to a one-on-one match. “I don’t want you to run like they do in Long Island, I want you to stand and fight like they do in Chicago,” Punk says. Punk says he’ll face MJF tonight if he wants but says he knows he won’t do it. He says if MJF is Long Island’s role model then they’re all a bunch of chicken shits and leaves the ring.

Vignette: MJF

MJF shows up to his old football field in a sports car as a narrator calls him a hero and talks about how great he is. He pulls out his letterman jacket and walks onto the field and the narrator continues. We cut to the arena and MJF’s music hits to a GIGANTIC reaction.

Dynamite Diamond Battle Royale
MJF vs. Dante Martin vs. Ricky Starks vs. Lio Rush vs. Powerhouse Hobbs vs. Wardlow vs. Jay Lethal vs. Matt Hardy vs. Matt Sydal vs. Lee Moriarty vs. Frankie Kazarian vs. Lee Johnson

The final two wrestlers left in the match face off in a one-on-one match next week. Moriarty almost eliminates MJF but Spears saves him on the outside and Wardlow throws Moriarty over the top to eliminate him. Sydal is then eliminated, too. Lethal almost eliminates Hardy but Allie slips him brass knucks and he blasts Lethal with them and eliminates him. Dante Martin eliminates Hardy from behind.

Hobbs and Wardlow come face-to-face and start slapping meat! Wardlow tosses Hobbs over the top but he lands on the apron and knocks Wardlow back only for Rush to come flying out of nowhere knocking Hobbs to the floor to eliminate him!

Martin and Kaz slam into each other with cross body attempts at the same time. MJF is hiding behind Wardlow pretty much for this entire match. Rush rolls under Wardlow and goes after MJF as the rest go after Wardlow. Wardlow fights everyone off and goes for a Double Chokeslam on Johnson and Rush only to eat a dropkick from Martin. They all team up to try and eliminate Wardlow but MJF runs up behind them and eliminates Johnson, Rush and Wardlow! MJF eliminates Kazarian! It’s down to just MJF, Starks and Martin.

Martin and Starks square off with MJF but then Martin dumps Starks over the top eliminating him! MJF and Martin will face off next week one-on-one!

Winners: MJF & Martin

MJF offers Martin a handshake and he accepts. Starks attacks Martin from behind and MJF acts like he doesn’t care but then finally runs back in and gets in Starks’ face. He shoves Starks and then they both attack Martin. CM Punk runs out and MJF immediately bails. Starks eats an Enziguri from Martin and Punk hits the GTS!

Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky are in the balcony taunting Guevara. He says he had to jump through hoops to get a title shot and says maybe if he was an EVP and kissed Tony Khan’s ass he would get a title shot quicker, too. Sky says that Guevara needs to grow some balls and says at some point he’ll have to prove he’s a champion instead of just saying it.

Page says next week he is going to kick the Cowboy shit out of Danielson.
