The December 23 episode of AEW Dynamite will be the “Holiday Bash” special, and AEW will give fans an exciting gift by having CM Punk and MJF will step into the ring and look to settle their feud. But their first match together won’t be a singles bout; it will be a trios contest.
Punk and MJF have been feuding for the part few weeks, and during AEW Winter is Coming, their conflict reached a new level. After “The Salt of the Earth” won the Dynamite Diamond Ring for the third year in a row, Sting and Darby Allin saved Dante Martin from a beatdown at The Pinnacle’s hands. To ensure that the good guys stood tall, Punk ran to the ring, prompting MJF to exit the ring.
Punk then grabbed a microphone and stated that since MJF doesn’t want to face him one-on-one, then they can get their friends involved With that in mind, next Wednesday, Punk will team up with Sting and Allin to take on MJF and FTR in what is promising to be an incredible match featuring six of the best stars on the AEW roster.

In another rivalry match, Griff Garrison will face Malakai Black on next week’s episode of AEW Dynamite. During AEW Winter is Coming, Garrison challenged Black to a match because he wanted to avenge Julia Hart; Back spit his vile mist in her face last week.
"Next week Malakai, I'm going to break your jaw!"
