CM Punk News Roundup: CM Punk takes shot at WWE, praises new UFC Champion, future match with top NJPW star?

2. CM Punk resumes feud with MJF and takes a nasty shot at WWE

The MJF-CM Punk feud has been given new life after Punk was seemingly done with Friedman.

Not only did Punk interrupt MJF's match before it even began, but after calling the fleeing Friedman out, he ended up knocking WWE. However, The Salt of The Earth also brought up WWE and Wrestlemania.

Weeks ago, Punk bashed MJF for being compared to the late Roddy Piper, and the latter sought revenge. He compared Punk to Piper and noted how the Hall of Famer headlined Wrestlemania, but Second City Saint never did.

The move didn't go as planned, and CM Punk ended up trashing WWE along with Friedman:

"And listen pal if you think the grass is greener on the other side, be my guest go ahead leave, main event night 4 of a buy 1 get 1 free extravaganza and then get released faster than you last in the sack," Punk said

Notably, this will mark the first long-term feud between CM Punk and another wrestler in AEW. So far, Punk has had a one-match rivalry with wrestlers, drawing criticism from fans and critics alike.

1. CM Punk caused the first-ever win via disqualification in AEW history

The win via disqualification has become something that WWE is infamous for, and Tony Khan has even taken shots at WWE for this before. Hence, AEW has been careful to avoid matches ending in a DQ.

However, the finish in question is likely a cheek-in-tongue shot at WWE but mainly a way for CM Punk to get under MJF's skin. Friedman has now begun the year with a loss, thanks to Punk.

Hopefully, the feud between Punk and MJF continues and ends in a way that elevates both AEW stars.
