Top AEW star suddenly drops a cryptic CM Punk reference following WWE RAW

A top AEW star has attracted eyeballs after sharing a cryptic CM Punk reference following Monday Night Raw.

This week's WWE RAW kicked off with new World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk, who came out to celebrate his victory, thank his fans, and discuss his future challengers. During the segment, the Second City Saint was first interrupted by Logan Paul's return and then by the Vision. Later, Punk teamed up with Jey Uso to face the Vision in the main event. The match ended in a double countout after a wild brawl outside the ring, but it finished in an intriguing way when Paul reappeared in the ring and knocked Punk out with brass knuckles. While Punk's night didn't end as he'd hoped, the Best In The World has now found himself being suddenly referenced by All Elite Wrestling star Dax Harwood.

On X, Dax shared AEW's photo of FTR performing their signature Shatter Machine on Punk when he was with the Jacksonville-based promotion, with a message that said "not even close." While Dax didn't provide any context, it's known that Punk and Harwood are on good terms. Still, the reason for this post remains a mystery.

Many would agree that Dax Harwood is one of the most abrasive and outspoken professional wrestlers in the world, and he displays this persona strongly on social media. Recently, fans saw yet another version of the 41-year-old being blunt and straightforward online.

On a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, analyst Dave Meltzer stated that Harwood's FTR and the Young Bucks are the greatest tag teams of the last twenty years. This caught Dax's attention, who reshared Metlzer's quote on his Instagram stories and suggested that people have known this for a while.

FTR is set to challenge Brodido for the AEW Tag Team Championships at Full Gear 2025. It will be interesting to see if they can walk away with the titles.
