M1: “The American Dragon” Bryan Danielson def. Anthony Bowens of The Acclaimed via submission
In ring segment: CM Punk: “I’m supposed to go face-to-face with Eddie Kingston. So I’d like to invite him out to my ring.”
- Eddie Kingston’s music began to play, and then stopped, and there with no Eddie in sight. Kingston finally came out. “You want an apology? Answer me when I talk to you. You don’t like that?”
- Punk: “You interrupted me.”
- - Eddie Kingston: “Yes, I interrupted the great CM Punk. Oh, God. I’m sorry the fans didn’t get Punk against Orange Cassidy but I was at home getting tested because I felt sick. I’m gonna tell everyone the truth who you are. This man was once a hero of mine. Guys like him, Samoa Joe, Homicide, Amazing Red, guys like that on the independents like that inspired me. But you low life, you judged me? “I came to that locker room and all you did was judge me. Because I didn’t become friends with the booker? Because I like to eat?”
- CM Punk: “I hear a lot of baggage right there. It wasn’t just me who judged you. It was me, it was Joe, it was Homicide, it was Danielson, but we judged you because we held you to a higher standard. You’re the one who fell short of that mar -- You can blame a guy like Danielson for beating you in the tournament and you can walk in the back and blame me. I’m the one who saw greatness in you 15 years ago but I’m a fool for holding you to that standard now because you’re a bum.”
- Eddie Kingston: “I’m a bum? Nobody wants you here. That whole locker room is afraid to say it. Not me. Stop smirking like you did the other day at me or I’ll smack it off your face. Why don’t you fight me on the 13th at FULL GEAR?”
- CM Punk: “Fight Eddie Kingston at FULL GEAR? Eddie, again, FULL GEAR, a little bit high bar for you. I was thinking ELEVATION or DARK, something more your speed.”
- Eddie Kingston: “You’re a coward. Fight me. Fight me. Fight me. Fight me. Fight me at FULL GEAR.”
- CM Punk: “I’ll see you on the 13th at FULL GEAR.”
- Eddie Kingston: “I don’t care about winning at FULL GEAR. I care about beating you so you quit again and—”
- - CM Punk heard enough and hit Kingston with a head butt! CM Punk and Kingston began to brawl. The locker room emptied and AEW Officials had to try to separate Punk and Kingston!
