AEW Dynamite: World Title Match; CM Punk vs. MJF and more announced

Bengaluru, January 27: AEW World Champion 'Hangman’ Adam Page will lock horns with his current rival, Lance Archer with the title hanging in balance within two weeks of time.

During last night’s episode of AEW Dynamite, the match between the two AEW stars was announced for the February 9th edition.

It won’t be a traditional singles match. Archer requested for a Texas Deathmatch stipulation to be added to the bout which was sanctioned by AEW Officials and even Hangman agreed to it.

Archer has prior experience in a Texas Deathmatch as he defeated Jon Moxley under this brutal stipulation back in July 2021, on Night Two of AEW Dynamite: Fyter Fest. Archer also received respect from the former AEW World Champion after the much-talked bout.

Next week’s Dynamite will witness the much-anticipated CM Punk vs. MJF matchup as a result of their back-and-forth verbal jabs to each other on AEW TV.

Punk begged Maxwell to step into the ring and settle their feud on this week’s episode in Cleveland. But MJF would instead propose to face him in Chicago, claiming that he will defeat the former Straight-Edge Leader in “the dumpster fire” that is Punk’s hometown of Chicago.

Once the bout was confirmed, members of The Pinnacle came out from the back and ambushed CM Punk. Wardlow threw Punk into a chair with a powerbomb as MJF finished the segment by saying that Punk’s journey will end where it started — in Chicago.
