The Second City Saint has not wrestled since All Out in September last year, leading many to raise questions about his ring readiness. Those worries can now be put to rest considering the immense amount of experience and in-ring quality the other participants of the match possess.

Additionally, the history between Samoa Joe and CM Punk from their days in Ring of Honor will add immensely to the bout. At times, the two men have seemed incapable of having a bad match. The hardcore AEW audience will no doubt be on the edge of their seats when these two men come face to face once again.
