CM Punk reacts to major AEW star's recent accolade in the industry

Despite being absent from AEW television, CM Punk has been active on social media. He recently shared his honest thoughts on one of the promotion's top stars' newest accolades. The entity is none other than the current All Elite World Champion MJF.

2022 was a successful year for Maxwell Jacob Friedman. After three years in the Jacksonville-based promotion, The Devil finally won the AEW World Championship. Some of his other notable achievements were defeating the 'Absolute' Ricky Starks to become a four-time Dynamite Diamond Ring winner.

MJF took to Instagram to relish his accolades by sharing a few highlights. He boasted about receiving two awards from Pro Wrestling Illustrated. One award was for being the 'Most Hated Man in the Business,' and the second achievement was alongside the self-proclaimed Best in the World for the 'Best Feud of 2022.'

CM Punk responded to this post by taking shots at The Pro Wrestling Illustrated's year-end awards and the star ratings provided by Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer by claiming that people care little for them.

"Maybe find some tape for the ratings so nobody sees those either," CM Punk commented.

Multiple wrestlers from WWE and AEW reacted to MJF's post

CM Punk was not the only one to respond to the post. Several stars, including WWE's Baron Corbin, shared their thoughts on the achievement.

Jericho Appreciation Society member and former TNT Champion Sammy Guevara jokingly commented on the post, wondering how he is less hated than the AEW World Champion.

Baron Corbin, one of MJF's closest real-life friends, also reacted by wondering why he did not receive a plaque in 2019 when he won the award for being the most hated wrestler.

"Damn i didn't get a plaque in 2019. Those a-holes," Corbin commented.

The AEW World Champion currently has no official challenger for his title, but Bryan Danielson is looking to be MJF's next opponent and dethrone the champion.

If The American Dragon wins all his matches until February 8, he will challenge MJF for the AEW World Title at the Revolution pay-per-view.

Do you think Danielson will win all his matches and face Friedman? Let us know in the comments section below.
