In a surprising turn of events this past Wednesday night, The Purveyor of Violence defeated The Second City Saint in just three minutes to become the Undisputed AEW World Champion.
The sudden match finish caused a massive stir in the wrestling world, considering the hype built around the pay-per-view caliber contest.

What’s next for Jon Moxley and CM Punk ahead of AEW All Out pay-per-view?
While there’s no official word on whether CM Punk has re-injured himself, the company recently aired backstage footage of him being attended by the medical team.
In the exclusive footage, The Straight Edge Superstar looked visibly in pain as he uttered, “It didn’t feel like anything [foot], it just felt like it just gave out.”
Meanwhile, Jon Moxley has booked his berth in the main event of AEW All Out this year.
The Death Rider is now scheduled to appear on the go-home episode of AEW Dynamite this week, possibly setting up an angle for his next title defense at the Chicago event.
Interestingly, reports indicate that the company is still planning to book Moxley vs. Punk (Chapter II) on September 4. Wrestling fans must tune in next Wednesday night to find out what Tony Khan has in store for these men.
