Jim Cornette recently shared his thoughts on the promo exchange between CM Punk and MJF from last Wednesday's episode of AEW Dynamite.
The flagship show's first episode of 2022 and since moving to the TBS Network featured as many as three title matches. However, the standout moment from the show was a blistering promo exchange between The Salt of the Earth and The Straight Edge Superstar.

Former WWE manager Jim Cornette thoroughly enjoyed the segment, sharing his views on the latest episode of the podcast Experience.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Cornette praised AEW for following up one of the best matches in its history (Hangman Page vs. Bryan Danielson 2) with a promo segment that he thought was more exciting than anything WWE produces:
"Again as I said, 45 minutes into the show, you have one of the best matches they have ever had (Hangman Page vs. Bryan Danielson 2), and two guys that can promo like that, and it makes the program seem major league and much more exciting and much more interesting than anything that WWE does."
Furthermore, Cornette explained that CM Punk and MJF didn't reference WWE just for the sake of it. Instead, the wrestling veteran thinks that the two performers took inside digs at each other, like many belonging to the wrestling business would naturally take:
"Again, they are not referencing, putting over another company (WWE) as much as they are taking inside digs at each other like guys in the business would, saying sh** like this to each other."
MJF and CM Punk could advance their storyline on this week's AEW Dynamite
On Wednesday night, CM Punk would be in action against MJF's Pinnacle stablemate Wardlow, who has been on a winning streak in recent months. As such, it'll be interesting to see if AEW books Mr. Mayhem to lose against The Straight Edge Superstar, halting his momentum in the process.
Fans can also expect MJF to lurk around during the match, hoping to cost Punk the bout just like the former WWE star had done to him last week against Shawn Dean. That said, heading into Revolution 2022, where Punk and MJF are expected to clash, it looks unlikely that AEW would break the former's winning streak.
