It's a rivalry that's been building for months, but CM Punk and MJF finally squared off during last night's main event of AEW Dynamite. It took up pretty much the entire second hour of the show, though it did look like MJF had stolen the victory 15 minutes in after using the tape on his wrists to secretly choke out the Best in the World.
Luckily, the referee figured out what MJF had done and decided to continue the match. While that victory won't go down in the record books, it was a win for the heel and another followed.
Near the end of the match, a clearly reluctant Wardlow walked out to ringside for a staredown with Punk. While he ultimately backed off, MJF used his Dynamite Diamond Ring to knock his opponent out and score the 1-2-3. A replay would later reveal that Wardlow actually dropped the ring to MJF while he was face-to-face with Punk, so this was a stolen win, but a win nonetheless.
