On this week’s Dynamite, C.M. Punk ran to the ring and interrupted MJF’s match before it began. Punk hit his opponent with the GTS, causing MJF to lose the match via disqualification. Both men then traded verbal jabs on the microphone, with Punk telling MJF that he simply wanted to “kick his ass.” MJF teased that he would finally agree to a match with Punk, but pivoted and dropped Wardlow’s name instead. Punk agreed to the match on the spot.

MJF and C.M. Punk have been feuding since November. Punk, Darby Allin, & Sting recently defeated MJF & FTR, but MJF dodged Punk for that entire match.
