AEW Star Wants To See The Pinnacle Reunite But Replace MJF With CM Punk

AEW

An AEW star wants to see The Pinnacle reunite but replacing MJF with CM Punk.

In March 2021, MJF aligned himself with Wardlow, Shawn Spears and FTR to form The Pinnacle to feud with Chris Jericho and The Inner Circle.

Despite their association in 2021, the group soon faded away in 2022 with Maxwell Jacob Friedman going into a rivalry with former Pinnacle member Wardlow.

During a Terrificon 2023 panel (via Fandom Spotlite), former three-time TNT Champion Wardlow was asked about the idea of a Pinnacle reunion. He answered:

“Dude, that would be so sweet. For us all to get back together and live that Pinnacle lifestyle and just throw it all in Max’s face. I think I’m just gonna call Pepsi Phil myself and see what he thinks about that.”

“We all collectively love destroying MJF and his ego so anything we could do collectively… If it was a ‘We Hate MJF’ faction, it would just be the entire roster.”

With MJF as the current AEW World Champion and CM Punk claiming to be the Real World Champion, the former TNT Champion believes it’s interesting because he’s beaten both of them down. He said:

“So, being in there with CM Punk still to this day is like one of the greatest nights of my life. I have the gear that I wore in that match in a frame. That was so special.”

“Wrestling CM Punk after he’s been out of the game for so many years, I’m coming into it thinking that’s one of those never gonna happen situations and so for him to come back and have that opportunity is truly, truly, truly special.”

“Now, with that said, I do find it very interesting that we have a champion in MJF and then we have a supposed champion that never lost in CM Punk.”

“I beat the s**t out of both of those guys (he laughed). CM Punk won, but he didn’t. I won and I demolished MJF and I’m very confident I could beat both of them again easily.”

In regards to his former boss MJF, Wardlow believes there’s still more to do with them both. He stated:

“For me, it was most definitely Samoa Joe (feud that didn’t reach its full potential). We are capable of so much more. I envisioned myself and Joe being something so much more than what it was. But it is what it is. Max and I, it reached its full potential but I think there’s so much more to go…”

“I’d rather team with Powerhouse Hobbs I think. I’m done wrestling Powerhouse Hobbs (he laughed). I think we would make a hell of a tag team.”

Wardlow is currently out of action since losing the TNT Championship to Luchasaurus on the June 17 premiere episode of AEW Collision.

As previously reported, MJF recently broke his silence in regards to Lufisto’s allegations of backstage conflict within AEW.
