It’s Wednesday night and you know what that means!

CM Punk vs. Penta Oscuro (with Alex Abrahantes)!

They had a stare down and then shoved one another. Neither Punk nor Penta would back down. Punk chopped and then Penta fired back an elbow strike. Things broke down and they traded a flurry of strikes!

Punk was looking for the GTS early but Penta Oscura countered and went for an ankle lock. Punk countered by sending Penta Oscura facefirst into the turnbuckle. Penta retaliated with a sling blade for a near fall on Punk.

Penta Oscuro kicked CM Punk in the quad and then threw him to the arena floor. Punk was waiting and jumped back into the ring—only to rocket himself to the outside onto Penta Oscuro with a tope suicida!

“This match could have huge ramifications in the top 5 ranking of AEW,” said Excalibur.

Punk slipped off the top rope, landing on his knee, and began writhing in pain. Penta Oscuro quickly went to work on Punk’s knee.

“All is not right with the world and CM Punk’s leg,” said Jim Ross.

Punk fired back with a hurracanrana off the top rope. He followed up with a rising knee strike to Penta Oscuro. Punk was trying for the GTS but Penta dropped elbows on Punk. Somehow Punk transitioned to the Anaconda Vice but Penta Oscuro managed to reach the ropes, forcing the ref to break the hold.
