We are viewing an event that happened at the beginning of the Universe. We are seeing em waves from this event. These em waves have been traveling across the universe for billions of years (since beginning of the universe) and billions of light years.
This means the matter in our solar system, that originated from the big-bang and event that the above em wave was produced, arrived at this location before the em wave.
Think you are saying: we are seeing the afterglow of an event and not actually the event itself. Still it would have to be a race in which you have to move a huge amount of matter across space in a very short period of time (relatively speaking).

These em waves have been traveling across the universe for billions of years (since beginning of the universe) and billions of light years.The CMB is traveling in all directions simultaneously, so it diffuses pretty much equally across the entire universe (with important and measurable exceptions). It isn't coming from one point.
