10 Off-Air AEW Moments You Need To See

Acting as one of the many instantly iconic utterances the reinvigorated Voice of the Voiceless has unleashed on the wrestling landscape since making his All Elite bow, CM Punk's flippant request for Taz to "send Hook" quickly snowballed into one of the most over catchphrases the company had to offer.

Yet, with Hook still being in the early stages of his development and The Best in the World being occupied with bigger fish at this current moment in time, it felt as though fans would be waiting some time for any form of genuine physicality between the two. Thanks to some brilliantly pitched off-air antics, however, said wait came to a captivating end in the wake of the May 11, 2021 Long Island edition of Dynamite.

Acting as heel-for-a-night thanks to MJF's hometown hero status, Punk backing up into The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil post-exchange with his long-time rival was met with a frankly nuclear response.

Instantly knowing his inevitable fate had been sealed, Punk's cries for mercy were then met by a strong handshake, wicked suplex, and Redrum submission as Hook left the icon laying. Ever the pro, Punk would subsequently sell said beatdown by being escorted backstage on a loading box as the crowd exited the arena.
