The building opened in 2017 and has been a relatively frequent host to AEW events including the February 2020 edition of Revolution and a November episode of Dynamite with a Rampage taping. It is home to the DePaul Blue Devils men\u2019s and women\u2019s NCAA basketball teams and the Chicago Sky of the WNBA.<\/p>\n<p>Three matches have been announced, and I\u2019ll keep my eyes open to see if anything else gets added.

Ruby eliminated Nyla in the semi-finals of the TBS Championship tournament back in December of last year before falling to eventually champion Jade Cargill in the finals. Nyla came out with her manager Vickie Guerrero before last week\u2019s main event and told the announce team that Ruby\u2019s win was a fluke.<\/p>\n<p>Ruby has won her last four matches including a win over Allie Katch at GCW The Wrld and two tag team wins with Thunder Rosa. Nyla has defeated Keira Hogan on Dark, won a tag match with Emi Sakura on Dark Elevation, and teamed with Penelope Ford and The Bunny to defeated Kris Statlander &amp; Red Velvet &amp; \u201cLegit\u201d Leyla Hirsh on an episode of Rampage.<\/p>\n<p>A little Twitter trash talk:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Oh don\u2019t worry Nyla, I have no problem kicking you AND Karen Guerrero in the teeth a second time.

While Ruby has won her last four matches, they haven\u2019t been on AEW TV proper. She has lost big matches for both titles since her debut. They seem to be focused on keeping Nyla strong. It makes me wonder if she is being positioned as Britt Baker\u2019s next challenger.<\/em><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1017511761\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<h4>CM Punk vs. MJF<\/h4>\n<p>It looks like the match is finally happening. CM Punk, in his hometown of Chicago, goes one-on-one with MJF after MJF laid down the challenge during last week\u2019s episode of Dynamite.<\/p>\n<p>This feud goes back to before Thanksgiving and has including numerous \u201ckayfabe-breaking\u201d promos (for all intents and purposes) both solo and face-to-face. Punk has defeated MJF\u2019s Pinnacle colleagues Wardlow and Shawn Spears. The latest chapter in their story unfolded last week when they went at it face to face. Punk started insulting MJF saying he could get his scarf for cheap on Amazon and the material wasn\u2019t strong because it was made on Long Island (hey, I resent that Mr. Punk). MJF came out and said they would have their match next week in Punk\u2019s hometown because Cleveland was a cesspool.<\/p>\n<p>MJF went on to insult Punk saying he threatens to sue when he doesn\u2019t get his way and fans in his hometown will see the real him. He compared Punk to LeBron James (who left the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2010 to \u201ctake his talents down to South Beach and join the Miami Heat) and cited his no-showing in Cleveland back in 2014 (referring to his walking out on WWE Raw after the Royal Rumble and leaving the company). He said the fans chanting won\u2019t stop him from turning his back on the fans and crying about it on a podcast. Punk called out MJF for \u201cbeing a fan\u201d for knowing about the podcast (the 2015 show he did on Colt Cabana\u2019s Art of Wrestling). He said he has made decisions and stood by them and never lied to the fans.<\/p>\n<p>Following their verbal back and forth, the rest of the Pinnacle (FTR, Wardlow, and Shawn Spears) came out and attacked Punk. MJF \u201cordered\u201d Wardlow to powerbomb Punk which he did, but after showing a look of reluctance.<\/p>\n<p>A little Twitter trash talk:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Stands for Midwest Is Dominant.

I\u2019m not saying that because he made fun of Long Island, it\u2019s just saying his scarves are cheap and calling out his hometown are low hanging fruit, and we see so much of it. That said, they got to a good place, and I liked Punk calling out MJF for being a fan. As far as the match goes tonight my guess is there are shenanigans to keep the feud going. The Wardlow factor is a big part of this. I don\u2019t think it all unravels tonight, since Revolution is not too far away, and the ultimate payoff to all this likely takes place on that show.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Penta El Zero Miedo &amp; Pac (Death Triangle) vs. House of Black (Malakai Black &amp; Brody King)<\/h4>\n<p>Also announced for tonight\u2019s show is the House of Black taking on the team of Penta El Zero Miedo &amp; Pac. Brodie King recently signed on with AEW and joined Malakai Black\u2019s House of Black. Two weeks ago, they disposed of the Varsity Blondes (Brian Pillman, Jr. &amp; Griff Garrison). Before King\u2019s arrival, Black sprayed the black mist in the eye of Julia Hart. Following that match, Pac had a message for Black.

It was fine, it was just time to do something else. I wonder if the House grows. Pac certainly has a dark side and could join up at some point.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Jon Moxley vs. Brian Kendrick<\/h4>\n<p>Earlier this evening, AEW announced another match for Dynamite.<\/p>\n<p>The train from WWE to AEW hauls in another passenger as Brian Kendrick makes his debut against Jon Moxley. Kendrick recently completed his second tour in WWE which began in 2014 as a trainer. He took part in the 2016 Cruiserweight Classic and was eliminated by multi-time IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kota Ibushi. He spent most of his time since that tournament on 205 Live and as a producer.<\/p>\n<p>Moxley recently returned to AEW television after a stint in alcohol rehabilitation. He\u2019s defeated \u201cAll Ego\u201d Ethan Page and Anthony Bowens of The Acclaimed since he\u2019s come back.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">In his <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AEW?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AEW<\/a> debut, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mrbriankendrick?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@mrbriankendrick<\/a> will face the toughest of tests tomorrow night on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AEWDynamite?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AEWDynamite<\/a><br \/>LIVE @ 8pm ET\/7pm CT on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TBSNetwork?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TBSNetwork<\/a> when he goes one-on-one with former AEW World Champion <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JonMoxley?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@JonMoxley<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Jon Moxley vs Brian Kendrick tomorrow night LIVE on Wednesday Night Dynamite! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0qZsAj2lPA\">pic.twitter.com\/0qZsAj2lPA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AEW\/status\/1488690010865999878?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 2, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll have people rolling their eyes saying, \u201chere comes another WWE talent.\u201d I\u2019ll give them the benefit of the doubt on Kendrick.
