VIDEO: Watch The Awesome MJF vs. CM Punk ‘War Of Words’ Promo That Opened AEW Dynamite

UPDATE: All Elite Wrestling has posted the full video of CM Punk and MJF’s promo that opened Wednesday night’s episode of AEW Dynamite. You can check that out below:

ORIGINAL: During the opening segment of this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, MJF and CM Punk were involved in a heated war of words. The segment featured references to John Cena, The Miz, and Triple H.

The show opened with CM Punk coming out for his match with QT Marshall but he was interrupted by MJF. The two men wound up getting involved in a long back and forth promo, with Punk saying that MJF was just a “less famous Miz.” MJF then took the microphone and noted that CM Punk had “gone soft” and was “almost” what people wanted. He said nowadays, Punk just kisses ass and may as well be out here preaching about “hustle, loyalty, and respect.”

Later in the promo, MJF once again referenced John Cena and Triple H, as he noted that Punk always played second fiddle to “You Can’t See Me Man” and the “King of Kings.” Punk then replied and said there was some truth in what MJF was saying, and he didn’t know if he still had it when he came back but he’s not afraid any longer. Punk noted that he didn’t need a ring to beat Darby Allin like MJF did and that the only way MJF would be the top guy is if “Tony Khan has a daughter and you marry her.”

The two did not end up coming to blows, as MJF left the ring and Punk instead faced QT Marshall in his scheduled match to pick up a win.
