Punk captured the AEW World Championship at Double or Nothing after a buzzworthy battle against Hangman Page. While fans were looking forward to the beginning of an epic reign, the star announced his injury within the first week of his reign. In his absence, AEW will crown the Interim World Champion while Punk recovers from his injury.
During his interview with Connor Casey of ComicBook, Tony Khan expressed his optimism surrounding the champion’s return.
While it’s currently unclear when CM Punk will return, Tony Khan has made sure that the veteran will either have to defend his belt against Jon Moxley or Hiroshi Tanahashi.
Until then, fans will simply have to be patient while the AEW World Champion slowly recovers from his injury.
