Originally published at AEW Dynamite notes: CM Punk hits 'GTS', Gunn Club turns on Paul Wight
CM Punk was back in front of his home-state crowd in Illinois on tonight’s Dynamite. He was beat down by Daniel Garcia and 2point0 (Matt Lee & Jeff Parker). Punk was saved by Sting and his opponent at All Out, Darby Allin. All three men hit their respective finishers and Punk was last to do so. He hit the ‘GTS’ onto Jeff Parker before having a stare-off with Darby. Sting announced that he will not be ringside for Punk and Darby’s match.

Paul Wight came to blows with The Factory and QT Marshall. The Factory had the numbers game on Wight and got the advantage on him. Once Wight gained control of the situation, Gunn Club (Billy, Austin & Colten Gunn) came to the ring. Billy ended up ambushing Wight with a steel chair.
WHAT IN THE WORLD?! @RealBillyGunn just leveled @PaulWight with a chair!
