CM Punk made his return on Dynamite last week and saved Jon Moxley from a beatdown. He then had a promo battle with Mox this week. The starting of Punk’s promo, however, got people puzzled. The AEW champion called out ‘Hangman’ Adam Page for a rematch. When Page didn’t appear, he called it ‘coward shit’ and said the following:
‘A little bit of advice and I suggest you take: The apology must be as loud and as public as the disrespect, and if anyone else has a problem with the champion, well I suggest you come on down. Because everybody wants to be the champ until its time to do champ shit.’
Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer (H/t WrestleTalk) discussed this strange behaviour from CM Punk. He mentioned that nobody was aware that Punk was going to call out Page. Meltzer then reminded people of his report that there was a lot reality to the Punk vs Page feud earlier this year:
“So, I don’t know what the deal was, and nobody else does either, but’¦ Punk was supposed to go out there and talk about Moxley and build the match, and he did’¦ after he talked about Adam Page. They may build something from it down the line, but it’s not scheduled for this pay-per-view, and nobody knew he was gonna do it.’
