CM Punk has suffered his first loss in All Elite Wrestling.
During Wednesday night’s episode of AEW Dynamite, MJF defeated CM Punk with some help from Wardlow. In the main event of the show, MJF and CM Punk faced off in a match that went nearly 30 minutes. The finish came when Wardlow came out and handed MJF his Dynamite Diamond Ring and distracted Punk and the referee. This allowed MJF to get the rub and pick up the win.
