I think MJF is great but Punk smoked him in this segment. Granted, MJF had the tougher role considering he had to speak 80% more than Punk but he rambled too long and Punk used his mic time perfectly.

Still, considering it was like a 15-18 minute promo segment, he held his own nicely. And I think the winner of their eventual match will become the next AEW Title contender.

Yeah, against 90% or so of wrestlers, we'd probably be raving about MJF's promo despite the chaff in it. But this was definitely a big dog/little dog situation where a vet showed a younger guy how far he really has to go. MJF did fine though.

This match is way too long, which makes me think it's by design (also, giving MJF a little bit since he just talked about Punk having trouble putting guys away). I wonder if it'll continue to be played as a rust/age/fatigue thing, or if it'll eventually transition to a strategy thing (which WOULD fit with Punk's penchant for long ass matches in the past).

And of course, Ross mentions his performance right as I finish writing this post.

I was going to say "if you have momentum why don't you move away from the Elite?" Glad they are doing it.

That Christian turn gotta be coming soon.........Then again they may just keep him in that role like Sting, Matt Hardy, etc.
