AEW Dynamite (2/9/21) results: CM Punk gets physical for first time in 7 years

Bengaluru, September 2: This week’s AEW Dynamite marked the overall 100th episode on TNT and the final edition of the show before this Sunday’s All Out 2021 pay-per-view.

The show was highlighted by CM Punk, who made another appearance in his hometown of Chicago and this time opted to go physical to the delight of the crowd.

The longest-reigning WWE Champion of the modern era initially came out to cut a promo on his upcoming match with Darby Allin at AEW All Out. He then sarcastically asked the fans in attendance if they weren sick of seeing him again.

Punk then doubted his chances against Allin this Sunday as he hasn’t wrestled in nearly a decade. The crowd gave him some courage as they broke out with “you still got it!” chants.

Suddenly, 2point0 and Daniel Garcia hit the ring to attack the Chicago-native. Allin and Sting came out to make the save as they would execute Coffin Drop and Scorpion Death Drop moves, respectively.

Then Punk connected with a Go to Sleep on Jeff Parker of 2point0. This is the first time Punk hit his finisher in over seven years (The ex WWE Superstar allegedly made an indie appearance in 2019 to hit a GTS under a mask although his identity remains unconfirmed).

Once the beatdown was over, Punk and Allin had a tense staredown but things never went physical between the two of them. Sting would have a mic, claiming that he's honored to share the ring with someone like CM Punk.

The WWE Hall of Famer also informed that he would root for Darby this Sunday from backstage, as he won’t be at ringside for the match.

Darby will face Daniel Garcia this Friday on AEW Rampage before squaring off against CM Punk this Sunday at All Out in what marks the latter's first official wrestling match since 2014’s WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view.
