AEW star, MJF recently fired shots at WWE Superstar, CM Punk. However, the 28-year-old deleted his tweet soon after posting it.

Maxwell Jacob Friedman is widely regarded as one of the best heels in the business. He has shown tremendous growth during his time at AEW and has established himself as one of the top stars in the company. Friedman had a very heated rivalry with CM Punk when the latter was signed to the Jacksonville-based promotion.

Given both men's promo skills, the fans were treated to some excellent segments. They competed twice in singles competition and were tied at one apiece. What's more impressive is that Maxwell beat CM Punk in the latter's hometown of Chicago, Illinois. It also looks like he hasn't forgotten about this feat either.

Maxwell Jacob Friedman is currently in Chicago for AEW All Out. He took to social media to take a shot at The Straight Edge Superstar. He referred to Punk as "Pepsi man" due to the latter's tattoo. However, he immediately deleted his post.

"Two more days in this dog s**t state where I beat Pepsi man twice and broke Garcias neck then I finally get to go home to the only person that matters," read the deleted post.

Jeff Jarrett feels that MJF will lose to Daniel Garcia at AEW All Out

A few weeks ago, Maxwell Jacob Friedman brutally assaulted Daniel Garcia on Dynamite. As a result, the latter got back at Friedman by interfering in his match at AEW All In. These two men are now set to compete against each other at All Out PPV this Saturday.

Speaking on his My World podcast, Jeff Jarrett, stated that he feels that Daniel Garcia could pull off an upset over the former AEW World Champion. The veteran's reasoning was simple - "Garcia's due for an upset."

"Garcia's due for an upset," Jarrett said. "I think it's that simple. ... As young as MJF is, but he's got a hell of a statistical run, with dates and wins and everything that goes with that. Garcia is a young gun climbing that mountain. I think he's at a crossroads." [H/T: Wrestling Inc.]

It will be interesting to see if Daniel Garcia will be able to pull off an upset and defeat Maxwell Jacob Friedman at AEW All Out.
