• AEW Dynamite Results – Kenny Omega Returns, Ricky Steamboat Debuts
– AEW World Champion CM Punk kicked off tonight’s Dynamite. Punk said he wants to give Hangman Page the rematch he never got after he got injured. Hangman didn’t come out and Punk called him a coward.
Punk then addresses Interim AEW World Champion Jon Moxley. Punk said Mox has always been 2nd best to him, and is the 3rd best guy in his group. Punk then called out Eddie Kingston. Punk said he’s the 3rd best Eddie he’s ever faced and the 2nd best Kingston he’s shared a locker room with.
Punk challenged Moxley to a match at All Out for the Undisputed AEW World Title and said he’ll be the second Jon he beats in Chicago.
Moxley came out and said he has the heart and soul Punk doesn’t have, and that Punk only came to AEW when he ran out of money.
Punk said he’s worried if Moxley will bleed all over the place if he touches him.
"Jon Moxley is the third best guy in his own group, and that seems to be a reoccurring theme in his career"
