Punk was cleanly beaten by Wardlow until MJF allowed his personal hatred for CM Punk to inadvertently allow Punk to pick up a desperate fluke pin. Wardlow visually won clean although Punk just barely escaped with a lucky victory. If you think Wardlow looked bad in this match, especially when Punk couldn't even stand up after the match and Wardlow was standing strong and powerful after the match, then I think you need to re watch the match; and pay better attention to what happened in the match the second time around.

[@dannyknightblade4592]

@@tonyp9313 He shouldn't take a loss just to take a loss; or to try to prove to people that he's a generous performer. This match allows Punk to retain his undefeated streak in AEW so that when he does suffer his first official loss in AEW eventually it will be even more impactful. Wardlow getting the official first loss of his AEW career doesn't hurt his push at all. He was not embarrassed or humiliated at any way in his match. To the contrary, actually. He looked incredibly strong by manhandling a major superstar in CM Punk throughout this match. He only suffered a fluke loss as a result of MJF not allowing Wardlow to cleanly pin Punk when he had Punk completely knocked out. It's not like if someone loses they are buried and if someone wins they get pushed. It's not that simple. AEW is telling a story here. Wardlow is the star of this story. Punk merely got the fluke pin. Wardlow demolished Punk throughout the match. Punk sold well for Wardlow; and Wardlow looked like a total beast. Punk looks like the crafty veteran who barely escaped with a lucky win while Wardlow looks like a monster who could destroy Punk without MJF getting in the way of his success. This is solid storytelling from AEW. No one got buried in this match. Wardlow didn't need the official victory- he needed to shine bright in this match regardless of the outcome of the match- and he did that in a big, impressive way.

Here after that goat promo

[@paulinoking123]

AEW fucking got me i thought they were gonna do the wardlow turn that crowd was begging for but it was just a tease. And I've never been so invested in wrestling. Not since childhood thank you AEW for bringing compelling real fucking rasslin back

[@cliffordjackson3]

That was the biggest tease we have gotten so far in the whole wardlow breaking up with mjf.

[@stephensaxby2820]

I am loving the fact that Wardlows baby-face turn is starting to gain momentum..and for the likes of MJF that is not good at all.

Wardlow has got superstar written all over him. I seriously love this guy. I love how they've taken their time with him. I think we'll get a Wardlow title run sooner than later.

[@R0D3R1CKV10L3NC3]

I can't wait for the moment Wardlow gets that "Batista turning on HHH" pop and finally turns face, it's gonna be deafening if they keep building to it the way they have been.

That was an awesome throwback to Diesel vs Bret Hart playing possum and getting the small package pin FTW.

[@wrestlingworld596]

this entire match was solely focused on making Wardlow a star and it sold its purpose very successfully. Mission accomplished.

[@superatlit9567]

What are you talking about? He won the match. Putting someone over is letting them pin you,

A classic Wrestlemania 13: Bret Hart vs Stone Cold Steve Austin. Austin refused to give up, and ended up losing the match, but he got over.

[@matthewfields8214]

@isthatyoubetha Austin did lose. Go back and look at the records, and it shows up as a loss for Austin. Just because he didn't tap doesn't mean he didn't actually lose.

[@skeleton8224]

Man CM Punk made wardlow look like a god. Even Brock lesnar didn’t beat him up this much in their Summerslam match. I would love to see wardlow booked like batista at his peak after evolution.

[@arto2533]

yes I recall that was surprisingly evenly booked. I think Heyman even interfered to keep Punk from getting a win?? But of course cRyback beat Punk up the worst. Not that it was scripted or meant to happen...

[@rivercatmeow]

That Brock Lesnar summerslam match is one of my absolute favorite cm punk matches and it stole the show for me when i first watched it.

[@MDALCHEMIST]

@@rivercatmeow Of all the smaller guys to face Brock Lesnar ( Bryan, Styles, Balor, Rollins, etc.. ), I think the match him and Punk put on was the best.

[@jackadams3878]

only problem i have is when you push people like mjf is pushing people, you usually wind up in the hospital, and the most we can count on here is a finisher from ward's turn and maybe a match loss to each of them. not enough payoff in the end

[@faustonaranjo6494]

Brings happiness to my heart watching Wardlow power bomb CM Chump into oblivion! Now I can't wait to see Wardlow power bomb MJF through everything! Love this story!

[@inklingmario5974]

the match was more of an angle then anything Wardlow was distracted by MJF that lead him to get rolled up this is all leading up to Wardlow having enough of MJF. I am glad it was just roll up & not a GTS they're building Wardlow to make him over with the fans having him straight up destroyed would of set things back.

[@EmberwindTale]

Punk gets a W but Wardlow gets to look like a beast who only lost by fluke, MJF gets more heat on him and this builds on a Wardlow turn after the Punk/MJF feud. Meanwhile in VINNIE-LAND: Edge and wife vs More Famous MJF and wife... riveting...

[@reddeath5791]

I firmly believe that Wardlow should cost MJF the match against Punk but that’s just me

Having punk rack up all these wins, I have a feeling they’re doing this before they hand him his first loss against MJF. Just like what they did with Jericho and MJF feud.
