CM Punk calls out Eddie Kingston on AEW Rampage
CM Punk didn't waste any time and invited Eddie Kingston to join him in the ring on AEW Rampage. Even though Eddie Kingston's music hit, he didn't come out immediately. Punk called out The Mad King on the mic once again before he finally came down to the ring.
Punk demanded an apology from Eddie Kingston, but he wouldn't budge. Kingston said he was at home for Dynamite getting tested for COVID-19 because he felt sick, and Punk was in the ring calling him out. Kingston added that he had no sympathy for Punk and his ego.
Eddie Kingston added that he idolized CM Punk, but people like him, Homicide, and Samoa Joe judged him backstage when he started wrestling because of how he looked. Punk replied that he wasn't wrong to expect greatness from Eddie Kingston 15 years ago, but it was his fault for continuing to expect it from The Mad King, calling him a bum.
Eddie Kingston then said that no one in the AEW locker room wanted him there. He then challenged CM Punk to a match at AEW Full Gear. After Punk accepted, Kingston told him to quit for seven years and leave after this match at the pay-per-view.
Punk didn't take kindly to this and headbutted Kingston as they came to blows. Referees had to come out and separate the two men.
