CM Punk vs. MJF: Dog collar match rules for AEW Revolution

CM Punk and MJF will compete at AEW Revolution on Sunday, March 6 in a Dog Collar Match. Here are the rules for the bout.

AEW Revolution 2022 taking place on Sunday, March 6, has all of the potential of being the best wrestling show of the entire year. There are 12 matches taking place, the majority of which have plenty of hype surrounding them. Perhaps one match set to take place at the pay-per-view event has all fans talking.

CM Punk and MJF have engaged in a heated rivalry dating back to last fall. Now, the two are set to face off at Revolution in a dog collar match, one of the more brutal stipulations in professional wrestling history. For those wondering what exactly a dog collar match entails, we have you covered.

CM Punk vs. MJF: Dog collar match rules for AEW Revolution

The rules are pretty simple. Punk and MJF will each wear leather dog collars around their necks. However, both collars will be connected by a steel chain, which can be used as a weapon by either performer. The only way to win this match is by pinfall or submission.

This is not the first time that a dog collar match took place in an AEW ring. Cody Rhodes took on the late Brodie Lee for the TNT Championship on the Oct. 7, 2020 episode of Dynamite. Rhodes won the match to regain the title.

Punk and MJF are taking each other on in a one-on-one match for the second time. They previously wrested on Dynamite on Feb. 2, which MJF won after hitting Punk with the Dynamite Diamond ring when the referee was not looking.

After defeating MJF’s Pinnacle stablemates, FTR, in a tag team match with Jon Moxley, Punk had earned his choice of match against his rival. Punk informed MJF that they would be competing in a dog collar match at Revolution.

MJF revealed in a heartfelt promo the effect that Punk leaving wrestling in 2014 had on him, which generated sympathy from his idol. But on the March 2 Dynamite, MJF hugged Punk before kicking him below the belt and bloodying him with the Dynamite Diamond to give a glance into how brutalizing this match at Revolution will truly be.
