He plays the world’s smallest violin for the great CM Punk. Eddie says Punk used to be a hero of his, along with Samoa Joe, The Amazing Red, and Homicide. They inspired him when he broke into the business, but Punk turned into a low life bitch.

Kingston defends his record in the wrestling business and says he’s no bum. Nobody in the AEW locker room wants Punk here, but they’re afraid to say it. Kingston challenges Punk to a match at Full Gear. Punk accepts. Punk says Elevation or Dark would be more appropriate for Eddie. Punk appeals to the crowd and then accepts the challenge at Full Gear. Kingston says he doesn’t care about winning, he just wants to beat him up and get Punk to quit again and go home for seven years.
