Former WWE Champion CM Punk Wants MJF to take his ball and go to WWE 

AEW made their debut on TBS for the first Dynamite of 2022. The company has now decided to open up that show with a World Cup contest. Hangman Page retained his title, but the action intensified when MJF and CM Punk went all war in the promo department later on.

MJF took a dig at CM Punk as he mentioned how people have compared him to Roddy Piper. He made a fair statement wherein he compared himself to Piper. However, the talking point is “the difference between CM Punk and Roddy Piper” – Piper was probably good enough to main event in a WrestleMania.” 

The AEW star also added that if he doesn’t get treated well around the company, he might go to the main event, a WrestleMania too.

It didn’t take too long for The Best in the World to get back to business as he encouraged MJF to “take his ball and go to WWE.” He even told MJF to main event “buy-one-get-one extravaganza”, which was a shot at WrestleMania’s 2-night event strategy,

Punk also said that WWE will eventually fire MJF, and he’ll come back to AEW with his tail between his legs. This was a really fitting reply to MJF looking at his contractual situation, and he has mentioned his wish to work with Edge and The Miz.

It will be interesting to see if Punk has to face Wardlow next week since MJF has first put his bodyguard in the Savior’s way.
