#2 AEW star MJF called CM Punk a second-best to John Cena and Triple H
One of the most notable references came out of AEW star MJF's mouth. He stated that despite years of hard work, CM Punk would always be second best. Whether it was the 'You can't see me man' or 'the King of Kings,' he wasn't up to their snuff.
The Salt of the Earth turned the clock back to talk about Punk's rivalry with John Cena and Triple H. Many considered this a downfall as The Straight Edge Superstar lost crucial matches against both men. It's worth recalling that Punk missed out on an opportunity to headline WrestleMania with The Rock, given that he came up short against the Cenation leader.
Is this man the funniest man in wrestling?
Meanwhile, fans have often criticized WWE management for letting Triple H defeat CM Punk during their rivalry in 2011.
#1 AEW's CM Punk hit the final nail in the coffin
While MJF ruled the segment majority of the time, CM Punk put the final nail in the coffin. The Second City Saint doesn't think Mr. Friedman is the number one wrestler in AEW.
However, Punk suggested that the only way he could claim that spot is if he waits a little longer for Tony Khan to have a daughter, and MJF marries her.
The Straight Edge superstar took a direct shot at Triple H, who everyone knows is married to Vince McMahon's daughter, Stephanie McMahon. Many people still say that The Hunter got everything handed in WWE because of his wife. Whether or not this is true, CM Punk killed two birds with one stone. He not only mocked Triple H and Stephanie but also humiliated MJF to end the segment.
