CM Punk Reveals Injury, Interim AEW World Champion To Be Crowned

CM Punk confirmed that he is indeed injured during last night's edition of AEW Rampage.

A clearly emotional new AEW World Champion took to the ring last night amid speculation of him carrying a potential injury out of the latest edition of Dynamite. Sure enough, The Best in the World would reveal that he is very much injured and said issue will require surgery to correct.

Far from being the end of this fairytale comeback, though, Punk would reassure those in attendance that he intends to go until the wheels fell off. And at this moment in time, one is merely broken, so he's not done by a long shot.

As later confirmed, a battle royal is set for the incoming Dynamite, with the winner of that bout facing off against #1 ranked Jon Moxley for the honour of battling Hiroshi Tanahashi for the company's interim version of its top strap at Forbidden Door on June 26.

Punk, therefore, won't be required to relinquish the gold he won last Sunday at Double or Nothing, paving the way for a mouth-watering unification bout later down the road.
