CM Punk and top AEW stars pick up a convincing victory in the opening match on Dynamite
AEW Dynamite kicked off this week with six-man tag action. The newly crowned World Champion CM Punk teamed up with FTR to take on the team of the Gunn Club and The Acclaimed's Max Caster.
The Second City Saint and FTR made their entrance to a huge reception from the crowd. Max Caster took digs at his opponents in his rap during their entrance.
The match started off with Harwood and Gunn. The latter's team worked on Harwood for several minutes until we went to picture-in-picture. Back from the break, we saw Punk get tagged into action.

Punk got rolled over due to the distraction but was able to kick out. He then powerbombed Austin Gunn into his father, knocking him off the apron. He followed it up with the Go to Sleep and sent Gunn into FTR, who then hit him with the Big Rig.
Harwood picked up the pinfall win for his team.
