The world of professional wrestling has never been short on drama, but the latest salvo fired by AEW’s MJF has left many questioning just how far this heated rivalry between him and CM Punk will go. The AEW World Champion has made it very clear that he has no respect for the WWE veteran, going so far as to say that he wouldn’t even deign to urinate on him if he were on fire.
A Childhood Hero Turned Bitter Rival
MJF’s comments about CM Punk may come as a shock to those who remember the AEW World Champion’s humble beginnings. In a recent interview, MJF revealed that Punk was one of his childhood heroes, a wrestler he looked up to with great admiration. However, it appears that those feelings have long since soured.
According to a WWE insider, MJF’s feelings towards Punk have been building for some time. “MJF’s disdain for CM Punk is all about respect – or rather, the lack thereof,” the source revealed. “MJF feels that Punk has never given him the respect he deserves, and this latest comment is just the latest in a long line of insults that have been flying back and forth between the two men.”
A Rivalry That’s Heating Up Fast
The tension between MJF and CM Punk has been building for weeks, with both men trading barbs in interviews and on social media. But it’s not just about the words – the two men are also set to clash in the ring, with a highly anticipated bout scheduled for the upcoming WWE pay-per-view event.
Sources close to Cody Rhodes revealed that the WWE is fully behind the matchup, seeing it as a great opportunity to put one of their rising stars in the spotlight. “MJF is a true champion, and we’re excited to see him take on one of the greatest wrestlers of all time,” a representative for Cody Rhodes said. “This is going to be a match for the ages, and we can’t wait to see how it all plays out.”
The Fallout Continues
MJF’s comments about CM Punk have sparked a firestorm of controversy, with many fans weighing in on social media. Some have come to MJF’s defense, arguing that he’s simply telling the truth – that Punk is a washed-up has-been who’s clinging to his past glories. Others, however, have been quick to condemn MJF, saying that he’s gone too far and crossed a line that can never be uncrossed.
In the midst of all this, CM Punk has remained characteristically silent, choosing to let his actions in the ring speak for themselves. But it’s clear that he’s not going to let MJF’s insults go unanswered – at least, not without a fight.
A Showdown for the Ages
As the stage is set for the ultimate showdown between MJF and CM Punk, one thing is clear: this is going to be a matchup for the ages. Will MJF’s trash talk and arrogance prove to be his downfall, or will he emerge victorious and prove himself to be the true champion that he claims to be? Only time will tell.
One thing is for sure, however – this is a rivalry that’s going to be remembered for years to come. And as the WWE world holds its collective breath in anticipation of the impending showdown, one thing is clear: MJF and CM Punk are about to give fans a main event that they’ll never forget.
