CM Punk was unable to maintain his winning streak on AEW Dynamite
On this week's episode of AEW Dynamite, CM Punk wasn't able to keep his unbeaten run intact after being beaten by MJF. The feud between the two men began weeks ago when Punk first interrupted Friedman and refused to shake his hand.
From there on, the two engaged in several incredible promo segments in AEW. Punk also teamed up with Sting and Darby Allin to face the trio of MJF and FTR on a previous episode of Dynamite.
MJF just beat CM Punk in Chicago, his first loss in AEW as well.
Huge moment for MJF.

In the lead-up to the highly awaited Punk vs. MJF match, the former WWE Champion also had to go through other members of The Pinnacle as well. The Second City Saint first snatched a win from Wardlow's grasp, followed by an 11-second victory over Shawn Spears.
Finally, Punk crossed paths with MJF in Chicago, Illinois. The three-time Dynamite Diamond Ring winner first beat Punk after choking him out using wrist tape but the referee forced the match to be restarted. Eventually, MJF hit Punk with his ring after Wardlow made his way down the ramp to assist his stablemate.
