Darby Allin Responds To CM Punk's Comments On AEW Rampage
How did Darby Allin respond to CM Punk's AEW Rampage words?
Hot on the heels of his highly anticipated return to professional wrestling last night, CM Punk's All Out opponent Darby Allin has spoken.
Starting AEW Rampage: The First Dance with an almighty bang, The Best in the World very nearly took the roof off The United Centre the minute Cult of Personality blared through the Chicago speakers. Among comments on needing to steer clear of the company that made him ill in the first place (a not so subtle dig at WWE), Punk also took some time to focus on his future, specifically calling out Allin for a bout on September 5 at AEW's next PPV event.
Now, with that All Out challenge made official, the former TNT Champion has broken his silence on the matter. Speaking as a ridiculously hot Rampage went off-air last night, Allin told those in attendance:
“I’m gonna keep this very brief… this !*$% company changed my life, and after All Out, everybody will know my name. CM Punk… it’ll be an honor,”
Sting, Jon Moxley, Eddie Kingston, and AEW President Tony Khan all took up the mic at various points in the wake of the much-watched Friday spectacular too, sending an already ecstatic Chicago crowd home thoroughly happy after an unforgettable evening.
