Veteran Star Challenges CM Punk For AEW Dynamite
Another first-time-ever match has been announced for next week's AEW Dynamite.
Tonight's AEW Rampage episode saw Dustin Rhodes issue a challenge to CM Punk. Rhodes said he's been on this "last ride" for a while now, proving he still has it after 5 decades in the business after taking out Lance Archer. Rhodes then referred to Punk as a dream opponent, and laid the challenge down as fans in the arena popped.
AEW then confirmed Punk vs. Rhodes for Wednesday's AEW Dynamite episode.
Stay tuned for more on Wednesday's Dynamite from the Petersen Events Center in Pittsburgh, PA. Below is Rhodes' full Rampage promo, along with the updated Dynamite line-up:
