“The Best in the World” will face “The Natural” on the April 20 episode of AEW Dynamite, as Dustin Rhodes has challenged CM Punk to a singles clash.
On the April 15 episode of AEW Rampage, Rhodes stated that he proved he still has it when he defeated Lance Archer. He said he knows his war with “The Murderhawk Monster” isn’t over, but he wants to cross a dream match off his list by facing Punk. The broadcast team subsequently confirmed the bout.
