Punk fires at Sasha Banks for stealing his catchphrase
Punk also mocked Sasha Banks and fired back on his previous actions where she used his catchphrase. The former AEW World Champion said that at least he is a real Champion and he is not stealing any catchphrase like others do.
For those unaware, Sasha Banks used his catchphrase when she was going against Becky Lynch on the October 15 episode, Banks tweeted ‘It’s Clobberin’ time’, a phrase famously used by CM Punk before he begins a ring walk.

However, the actions of Punk seem to be a clear indication that the AEW is heading toward a rivalry between the current AEW World Champion MJF and Punk. It will be interesting to see how things will go forward in the company.
