Hey, Hunter’s doing one of these little details posts for AEW now. Let’s see how this goes.
You missed some details from the May 11th AEW Dynamite live from Long Island, New York. The road to Double or Nothing continues with the main event noted old man CM Punk vs. emo cowboy Adam Page.
There was a lot of other stuff going on too. Let’s check it out.
Dax Hardwood Does A Bunch Of Bret Hart Moves — Still Loses
FTR has endlessly mentioned its devotion to the Excellence of Execution. While they wait for Bret Hart senpai to acknowledge them, Harwood decides to do all of Bret’s moves in his Owen Hart Cup match against Adam Cole and his forehead.
AEW doesn’t want you to respect kayfabe and instead openly says that the way a guy runs into the turnbuckle counts as a “move.”

Of course, he did the Sharpshooter.

Punk’s Jersey
CM Punk is a hardcore hockey fan, so it wouldn’t be surprising that he wears a hockey jersey to the ring. But the sweater he picked and the location where he wore it raised some eyebrows.

Dynamite took place at UBC Arena on Long Island, New York, home to the New York Islanders hockey team. During his entrance, Punk was sporting the jersey of former Islanders captain John Tavares. Tavares left the Islanders in 2018, citing his desire to play for a Stanley Cup contender. The betrayal angered Islanders fans. Punk seemed to want to rub it in Long Islander’s faces.
CM Punk in the Tavares jersey
For non-hockey fans, dude left his team (that he was the beloved captain of after being drafted by them) because a local restaurant called Borrelli’s wouldn’t give him free chicken parms. Went back to Canada. Whole big thing. #AEWDynamite

For the benefit of those who don’t follow the NHL, John Tavares played for the NY Islanders and opted to leave for Toronto in free agency. In other words, he’s not a very popular guy in New York, which is why CM Punk wore his old Islanders jersey. Funny stuff.

CM Punk wearing a John Tavares jersey in Long Island is a god tier troll #AEWDynamite
