Recently-returned AEW star Brian Cage apparently had something to say about CM Punk after he used one of the latter's signature moves during a recent match.
Cage resurfaced on television on the October 5 episode of AEW Dynamite when he unsuccessfully challenged Wardlow for the TNT Championship. In the following weeks, he also introduced his stable, The Embassy, which consists of Gates of Agony (Kaun and Toa Liona) and its manager, Prince Nana.
Punk is currently recovering from an arm injury he sustained at All Out. Meanwhile, Cage tweeted some photos of himself executing a diving elbow drop on FTR's Dax Harwood from last week's Rampage. He included a bold hashtag in his post's caption, claiming that his elbow drop was better than The Second City Saint.
Check out his tweet below:
Like Cage, Punk also has a diving elbow drop in his arsenal, which he has used on several opponents during his storied career. The move was initially made famous by WWE Hall of Famer Randy Savage and, later on, Shawn Michaels.
