11 Huge AEW Revolution 2022 Predictions You Need To Know

2. CM Punk vs. MJF

The best feud in wrestling will end on a CM Punk victory, as it should.

Effectively screwed out of two pinfalls in Chicago, it makes little sense for Punk to fall here. MJF has to be taught a lesson that he won't learn. Having shortcutted his way through the entire feud, revealing himself as something scarier than a mere sociopath on the final two episodes of Dynamite, it's time for him to pay the piper.

Punk's lesson won't have the desired impact. Strapping MJF with a dog collar and battering him around the ring won't suddenly make 'The Salt of the Earth' a better person. In fact, it'll make him worse. Expect MJF to spiral after this. Crushed by the first truly big, impactful loss of his AEW career, he will become meaner, more spiteful, and even more wrapped up in his own trauma, inadvertently worsened by the guy he blames for triggering the villain within all those years ago.

This is a good thing. It's the right thing to do. MJF has emerged from this rivalry a more three-dimensional character. In telling his origin story, he became sympathetic and more dangerous, showing traits possessed by psychotic, obsessive superfans for how he responded to Punk leaving the business in 2014. If he wins, that is undermined.

MJF must become even worse after Revolution. To do that, he must lose.

Winner: CM Punk
