Dynamite opens with the AEW World Champion, CM Punk! Huge “CM Punk” chants as Punk gets a mic and says he hasn’t been here in some time and he needs to get some important things out of the way. There is somebody from around these parts he wants to challenge to a rematch. Hangman Page… you want a rematch, you got it right here, right now!

“Cowboy Shit” chants. Page does not make an entrance… Punk says that’s “Cowards Shit” the apology must be as load as the disrespect. If anybody else has a problem with the champ they need to come on down because its time to do Champ Shit. “Moxley” chants…

Punk says Moxley has a lot of fans, but he is not number 1 in this ring, “I am the AEW Champion.” Moxley has always been number 2. Moxley is the 3rd best guy in his own group, and that is a reoccurring theme in his career!

Writing checks his boyd cant cash. Punk lives in a fantasy world. Most of the time is not even the best wrestler in catering. The mic doesn’t give power, those words don’t mean shit. That belt don’t mean shit and this belt doesn’t mean shit until he beats Punk.

Moxley is the heart and soul of this company, Punk says he will be the dollars and the cents. Moxley says the only reason Punk came to AEW because he ran out of money and we all now Punk ran out of fighting spirit a long time ago. Moxley gets in Punk face, Punk pushes him then it breaks down into a fight! Both men trade blows as security runs down to break them up. Security hold them back as they both try to get at each other. Moxley throws his belt down as security escort him to the back.

Tony Schiavone is with Powerhouse Hobbs, Hobbs says he doesn’t need friends, Starks proved he is ok with losing but I’m not. For 2 years Starks paraded around here like he means something. Hobbs says he doesn’t only breaks backs, he also breaks necks…
