Samoa Joe Sends A Message To “Real B*tch” CM Punk – Following his dominant victory over Andrew Everett on 8/12 AEW Collision, Samoa Joe seizes the opportunity to address the audience. He boldly proclaims himself as the current and enduring ROH World Television Champion. As he stands in the ring, he confronts what he perceives as the silence of a coward, directed towards CM Punk.
Joe refers to CM Punk as a “Real” World Champion who is presently behaving in a way that he finds objectionable. Joe doesn’t hold back, describing Punk’s behavior as that of a “real bitch.” He then extends a challenge to Punk for their match in London.
Joe acknowledges that he initially offered Punk the courtesy of asking for a match, but now he believes it was a mistake. With conviction, he declares that he will no longer seek Punk’s approval but will instead forcefully make his intentions clear. Joe drops the microphone and departs, leaving the commentators to speculate about the implications of his words.
UPDATE:
In the main event of the evening, CM Punk teamed up with AEW World Tag Team Champions FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) to take on The House of Black for the AEW World Trios Championship. As the match reached its climax, Samoa Joe made an unexpected appearance, locking Punk in a submission hold. Meanwhile, Brody King of The House of Black delivered a decisive lariat to secure the pinfall victory. Punk was subsequently shown being choked out in the crowd, adding a dramatic element to the aftermath of the match.
On the August 5 edition of AEW Collision, Samoa Joe made a strong declaration asserting his superiority over CM Punk. During this segment, Joe addressed his prior loss to Punk on the July 8 episode of AEW Collision, which was part of the semi-final match for the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament.
In that previous encounter, Joe suffered a loss to Punk through a roll-up pin, an outcome that Joe believes doesn’t do justice to the legacy of their rivalry. He expressed his determination to rectify this situation by proving his superiority to Punk on the grand stage of Wembley Stadium.
Throughout their history, Joe and Punk have engaged in intense battles, resulting in a record of four wins, one loss, and two draws in Joe’s favor. Their rivalry reached a crescendo during a trilogy of matches for the ROH World Championship. Notably, two of these encounters ended in time-limit draws, while Joe emerged victorious in the third clash. With their storied history, Joe’s desire to prove his supremacy against Punk on such a significant platform highlights the magnitude of their ongoing rivalry.
