CM Punk Says He’ll Address ‘The Suzuki Incident’ On AEW Dynamite

During last week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Minoru Suzuki faced Jon Moxley in the main event. The match ended up being shortened for time, as was Suzuki’s ring entrance. Normally his entrance lasts longer, and allows the fans to sing “Kaze Ni Nare” back at him. However, he hadn’t even made it to the ring yet when Moxley’s music hit. This upset some fans on Twitter while others turned it into a meme referred to as “The Suzuki Incident.” In a post on Twitter, CM Punk said that he will address the situation when he does commentary for Dynamite tonight.

He wrote: “I will address the Suzuki incident. You’re welcome.”

You can also see a few examples of the meme below.

“And then Suzuki came to the ring and there was barely any time left and I was ready to go KAZE NI NARE but they cut it off and the match only went 8 minutes and I couldn’t believe it so I tweeted about it and called it the Suzuki Incident and now I think it’s gonna get sorted.” pic.twitter.com/wvGGjP3MMI

"I talked to Vince, and he goes 'You have to cut off Kaze ni Nare in Cincinnati.' I can't do that, I can't. I described to Vince I'd just as soon blow my brains out, what you're asking me to do."

What a weekend to take off from wrestling. Catching up, apparently there was a Blade Runner fan-fic that blew up called "The Suzuki Incident," then @WWEBigE traded a briefcase for a belt & everyone was happy, including me

Watch #AEWDynamite Wednesday at 8/7c live from Newark!

Even AEW got in on it when announcing a match yesterday.

Before Moxley & Kingston answer for The Suzuki Incident, what Suzuki-gun @suzuki_D_minoru + Lance Archer perceived as disrespect last week to the legend Suzuki, tomorrow night Mox & Eddie will try to settle the score for last month’s savage attack by 2point0 LIVE on #AEWDynamite! pic.twitter.com/bzeysVRF6u
