After the event, Punk revealed in the post-AEW Revolution media scrum that the match was a nod to the Hall of Famer. He added that the match was important not just to him but to his former opponent as well, who admired Piper. "Why am I creating these moments? It's a love letter to Roddy Piper. During my career, I had a couple of good Dog Collar Matches with some good people. It just kinda made sense to tell the story...I love Roddy Piper, I don't think that's a secret. MJF loves Roddy Piper, too. I think it's important that while telling stories, you can always go back to the bedrock of pro wrestling," said Punk. [H/T .]
