Posted November 6, 20223 yr comment_5993756 Punk wants to get a rematch against MJF, but the deal is that he has to go against FTR w/ a tag partner. The issue is that Punk doesn’t have any friends in AEW, so there’s not a clear go-to. It ended up being Moxley, who is currently dodging Bryan Danielson’s request to team up. This is getting juicy. I like it. Unsurprisingly we got a great match with a hot crowd. Mox and Punk worked well together and we have some built in fodder for when the two eventually go against each other because Punk is kind of a dick and Mox doesn’t trust anybody. Let’s skip ahead in the match, Mox struggled to get in the ring, Punk had kinda left him to dry after a table spot. Now Punk is back in his corner and FTR are double-teaming Mox who is now bleeding “of course he is”. The ring is cut off but Mox is working through it and goes for the tag and Punk is not there. He left his post to go-after Dax. CM Punk is a terrible tag team partner. But the hot tag eventually comes. Punk ends up getting anaconda vice on Cash, who visibly taps but Aubrey is distracted with Mox and Dax. Tully starts whipping Punk with his jacket which allows Cash enough distraction to get a quick roll up attempt. Doesn’t work and Punk and Mox make it through. There’s mutual respect here, they did well for it being their first time teaming and against a veteran team as clever as FTR but there’s some stuff beneath the surface that could allow a great program in the future.
