* One week earlier, on the November 17th episode of Dynamite, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpkGY05rab8 MJF pulls a promo]] on his win against Darby Allin from ''Full Gear 2021'', stating his intentions to eventually get a title run for the AEW World Championship and that "there's nobody in the locker room [who] is on [his] level". Cue CM Punk coming to the ring to confront Maxwell face-to-face. However, he doesn't even say a word, let alone greet him (who offers Punk a handshake); he just leaves and simply smirks at the sight of him. Before Punk's scheduled match against QT Marshall at the start of the next episode of Dynamite on November 24th, MJF calls him out for what happened. What follows is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPAAKVDDEUU a near-20 minute promo]] that will go down as legendary and talked about for years. Punk says that MJF is "just a less famous [[Wrestling/TheMiz Miz]]", to which MJF claims that Punk has gone "[[Wrestling/WWEPGEra PG]]", preaches "[[Wrestling/JohnCena hustle, loyalty and respect]]", and will always be second-best to either "[[Wrestling/JohnCena the 'You Can't See Me' Man"]] or the "[[Wrestling/TripleH King of Kings]]". Punk fires back by saying that MJF was "[[SmartMark marking out]]" to Creator/RosieODonnell while he was selling out arenas, that all MJF does is talk when someone like Wrestling/BrittBaker is replacing him as a "pillar"[[note]]A reference to MJF's earlier proclamation during his feud with Darby Allin leading up to ''Full Gear'' about the "Four Pillars" of AEW, comprised of himself, Darby, Jungle Boy and Sammy Guevara[[/note]], and that if MJF really wants to be number one, he'll have to wait until AEW owner Tony Khan has [[Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon a daughter]] [[TakeThat that he can marry]].
