The Cult Of Punksonality: Update On CM Punk’s Return To AEW

That’s a bit of a gap. The AEW World Title scene is in a bit of a unique state at the moment, as there are currently two World Champions. Jon Moxley is the reigning Interim AEW World Champion, but there is also the official AEW World Champion, CM Punk. The Interim title was introduced when Punk was out of action, with a unification match coming up. Now we might have an idea of when that is coming.

According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Punk is expected to be back at either All Out in September or Full Gear in November, though it is not clear when the unification match will take place. Punk has been out of action since early June with an injury, forcing the creation of the Interim Title. There is no word on if Punk will be returning to television before either pay per view match.

Opinion: This is probably the most likely scenario, though it is a bit hard to imagine that Punk will be gone all the way into November. That is quite the long time to be out of action and still officially be the champion, though Moxley vs. Punk should be a heck of a showdown. The Interim title is a unique idea and I’m curious to see just how it winds up going once Punk is back.

What do you think of Punk vs. Moxley? How do you see the match going? Let us know in the comments below.
