CM Punk was left blood-soaked after his brutal fight with Eddie Kingston at AEW Full Gear.
The former WWE Champion’s feud with the fan favourite has been a whirlwind over the past few weeks as the pair quickly made things very personal as they played into their very real history on the independent scene.
On Saturday night (November 13), they faced off in the ring and delivered on the high expectations with fans hoping for an all-out war.
They certainly got that, with Punk covered in blood by the end of the bout and even getting booed by some areas of the Target Center in
Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The crowd were split, and it created a fascinating dynamic between two stars who have both endeared themselves to the fans.
In the end, the Go 2 Sleep put Kingston away as Punk keeps on rolling since arriving in AEW a couple of months ago.
He tried to shake Eddie’s hand as a mark of respect after the bell, but his opponent decided to bow out and walk away from the squared circle.
Following the bout, Kingston showed his gratitude for the AEW faithful – and those who have been with him every step of the way – on Twitter.
He tweeted: ‘Thank you for always believing in me’
Punk is yet to comment on the match on social media, but before the bout he revealed he would be paying tribute to the late, great Eddie Guerrero as Full Gear took place 16 years to do the day since he died aged 28 in 2005, and at the same venue as his tribute shows.
‘Tonight is for Eddie,’ he simply wrote.
Following the show, which featured plenty of stars paying their respects throughout the night, Eddie’s widow Vicki Guerrero tweeted: ‘Thank you to all the fans that showed love to Eddie at @aew #FULLGEAR! A huge hug to the roster who paid tribute to Eddie! #gracias. #vivalaraza (sic)’
