Punk and Kingston using 15 years of history against each other was smooth. When the crowd begins to chant "let them fight" that is how you know you've sold the feud in 8 minutes or less. Both of these guys are the types that you can't just throw them into a match and expect the stakes to get raised, they've got to be given time to run their mouths naturally to bring everything home. Eddie was able to bring out the CM Punk we all know and love. There is always at least some kernel of truth in the best feuds. That is what made Punk cutting promos on Triple H so great, this exchanged reminded me of that same CM Punk. Punk was always a master at blurring the lines between between reality and kayfabe, and Kingston matched him beat for beat.

Punk is a legend on the mic, but Eddie is so incredible he had Punk on the ropes for a lot of this. They already sold me on this fight. I feel like there is more heat in this feud after this this one segment than the entire Omega - Hangman arc over the last year. That's saying something as the Hangman story is one of the best in wrestling PERIOD. Just incredible.

[@rossclutterbuck1060]

Eddie has said many times that in his promo work, anything he says about himself is a shoot, anything he says about the other person is a work. So that's some real fire and venom in his promo.

[@younglove3362]

I don't know, seems scripted. Seems like they were both holding back to not mess eacher other up too much, especially Punk. Punk over reacted to that last line instead of giving a legit reaction. But as much as I hate to admit it, Punk is looking a little old. Like the stress through his years is aging him rapidly and he's losing his agility.

Yeah it feels real because the guys bitching about things that hurt his little feelings

[@simonaaronson1968]

Him overreacting and cutting off Eddie before Eddie finished made it feel that much realer, though.

[@Corvilux52]

It was real. Waaaay back in the day Eddie I believe made a small mistake in a match and it hurt someone. When he came back to the locker room, Punk went off on him and was talking shit about his weight and work ethic and all sorts of shit. He basically went completely apeshit on Eddie and buried him back stage. He referenced it in this promo but did so in a way that didn't break kayfabe and it's amazing. This is probably the only time I've ever seen someone shit this hard on Punk in a promo.

[@Boyetto-san]

You gotta love how Eddie Kingston can make an abrupt feud mean something just like that. And Punk absolutely kept up with Eddie's chaotic, personal, and tempermental way of building up a beef with someone. The whole thing manages to touch on Eddie's inner conflicts and sources of frustration without having to explain it, just from these two throwing barbs at each other. Absolutely brilliant.
