12 Most Paused Moments In AEW History
11. Understandably Emotional CM Punk Guy
United Center-shaking chants of "CM PUNK!"
'Cult of Personality' bursting through the speakers.
The visual of the man himself finally wandering back into the wrestling world he left behind all those years ago.
August 20, 2021 will forever remain one of the greatest nights in not just AEW history, but modern wrestling as a whole.
It was also a surprisingly emotional one.
Along with the Punker himself tearing up at the truly incredible reaction he received that night, a few fans let out a tear or two in the crowd, with one of them being captured on camera getting completely lost in this surreal moment.
But because the Internet is often a toxic cesspool, it wasn't long before some horrid idiots poked fun at the guy and raw moment.

Punk, being the legend he is, though, was quick to defend the passionate supporter of 'The Best in the World'.
And in a properly cool moment, he even met the viral fan backstage at All Out 2021, something that likely would never have even happened were it not for this moment being paused and posted so many times in the aftermath of 'The Voice of the Voiceless' comeback.
