#4 Best: CM Punk confronting MJF on AEW Dynamite

AEW's CM Punk finally seems to be picking up steam as the company is now determined to book him into money feuds. After pulling off a massive victory against Eddie Kingston, The Straight Edge Superstar confronted MJF.

In what seemed like a short and buzzworthy segment, Punk refused to have a handshake with Mr. Friedman, thus leaving All Elite Wrestling's top pillar in humiliation in the ring.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

Ever since making his pro wrestling return, fans and even wrestling veterans have been clamoring to see CM Punk feud with someone like MJF. Both men have been touted as one of the best promo-cutters in the business today.

The prospect of seeing the two clash down the road has sent fans into a frenzy. The company played a trump card tonight as the feud between Punk and MJF would bring massive eyeballs to the product.


#3 Worst: The never-ending saga pitting Malakai Black and Andrade El Idolo against Cody Rhodes and PAC

As seen on tonight's Dynamite, the company announced an eight-man tag team match for next Wednesday's show pitting Malakai Black, Andrade, and The FTR against Cody Rhodes, PAC, and the Lucha Brothers.

There doesn't seem to be an issue with AEW continuing the rivalry between FTR and Lucha Brothers. But it felt like an absurd booking decision to prolong the feud between the other four men, especially after their train-wreck of a tag team contest at Full Gear.

Black and Rhodes already had their rubber match a few weeks ago, which is why it doesn't make any sense to rekindle their rivalry. Meanwhile, PAC and Andrade have also fought multiple times. With no stake involved in this tussle, Tony Khan's promotion appears to be wasting the talents of all four of its former WWE stars.
