“I know that there’s people close to CM Punk that were… boy were they not happy with that six-man tag match.”

Death Triangle won the match, so they are currently 2-0 in the series. Regardless, we’ll have to see if The Elite will eventually win the series or not. We’ll have to see if the CM Punk digs continue on AEW television, but the company’s history of taking potshots at people isn’t anything new.
