MJF then ran his mouth and said that no matter where CM Punk went he will always be the second-best and this included AEW as well.

Eventually, Punk shut MJF down by saying that he didn’t realize that MJF stands for Maxwell Jacob Friedman, instead, he thought that MJF stood for Most Jealous Fan because Punk didn’t mention his names in any of the interviews. Furthermore, he even said that MJF is a less famous Miz, taking a dig at WWE.

MJF then referenced John Cena and said that Punk is no longer an outlaw but has turned into the PG Punk and he might even bring Hustle, Loyalty, Respect to AEW.

Punk even said that the only way MJF can become the man of the company is by waiting long enough for Tony Khan to have a daughter and then marrying her, this was a direct jab at Triple H when he married Vince McMahon’s daughter, Stephanie McMahon.
