SHOCKING Result In Jon Moxley Vs. CM Punk AEW World Title Match
Of all the ways you could've predicted Jon Moxley vs. CM Punk playing out...
Jon Moxley sensationally squashed CM Punk in last night's AEW World Championship unification match, putting his opponent away within a matter of minutes in a hotly-anticipated match that could realistically have headlined the upcoming All Out pay-per-view.
Few could have predicted what looked like a surefire Match of the Year candidate going down this way. A brisker-than-usual opening sequence played out before Punk blasted Moxley with a high kick. Immediately, the AEW World Champion fell to the floor, selling his surgically-repaired foot, which allowed Mox to shock and awe.
Smelling blood in the water, Punk's interim counterpart seized the opportunity, hitting a King Kong lariat, the hammer and anvil elbows, and a Death Rider. Wrenching the hurting foot with an immense sense of urgency, Mox inflicted untold levels of kayfabe damage before getting up, landing another Death Rider, and scoring a pinfall.
Jon Moxley is now the undisputed AEW World Champion. The whole affair took less than four minutes.
AEW's announce team sold the idea that Punk had come back to the company too quickly after suffering the broken foot that triggered Tony Khan to announce an interim World Championship in the first place. Clearly, his injured foot is the story in play - and the kayfabe reason for Moxley's sudden squash of him.
The All Out 2022 main event remains a mystery, however.
