CM Punk shared some sad news to AEW fans during tonight’s episode of Rampage, explaining that he is injured and will need surgery. This means he will be out for a while, and he said during his promo that he didn’t want to stop AEW and all the talent that could compete for the AEW World Championship. After some conflicting comments by the commentary team, AEW made it clear that he was not out for the title, and that they will be holding a Battle Royal next Wednesday with Dynamite to determine who will face Jon Moxley in the AEW Interim World Championships at Forbidden Door.
We’re not sure who’ll be in the battle royal yet, but Punk mentioned two people in his promo. One was Moxley, who was already set to be in the mix, and the other was Bryan Danielson. It would make sense to have Danielson in the mix as well, and we’d likely see Danielson against Moxley in the AEW Interim World Championship.

During his promo, Punk said, “I loved every second I spent on this ring. Every time I was on this ring in front of all of you, it was a gift I never thought I’d ever experience again. Here’s the bad news. The bad news is that I’m injured and need an operation.” Surgical. Two things are broken, and the biggest thing is my heart. Because I don’t like anything more to give in front of you all and I wanted to run through hell.”
“The good news is that I can still do all of that. I told you I’m going until the wheels fall and it’s still there and it didn’t fall off, it’s just breaking one of them,” Punk said. “I’ve been through worse and this is a bump in the road. It hurts as hell. I want to wrestle for you. I want to wrestle now. However, let’s talk about this title. I told Tony before I got out here that I don’t want to hang this up.” “There’s a laundry list of talent that can fill my shoes and be a champ. I’m talking about Brian Danielson. I’m talking to Jon Moxley. But Tony tells me he believes in CM Punk, and he thinks that’s an obstacle in the way.”
Punk concluded with, “A comeback will be better than a setback. I’m a champion for a reason, and I’m going to show you why I’m coming back faster, stronger and hungrier than ever before, and I’m going to prove why I’m the best in the world!”
