CM Punk made a triumphant return to AEW last month, and tonight he finally revealed the contents of the mysterious red bag he had been carrying around. Inside the bag was none other than the AEW world championship belt that Punk had won from Jon Moxley at last year’s All Out event. This was a significant moment for Punk, as he had been stripped of the title after getting into a backstage fight with The Elite and suffering a torn triceps.
Punk wasted no time in declaring himself the real world champion of AEW, stating that he never lost the belt and that it still had his name and blood on it. To further solidify his claim, Punk spray painted the belt with his X symbol, symbolizing his straight edge lifestyle, and proclaimed that he is better than everyone else.
However, Ricky Starks had something to say about Punk’s claim. Starks had cheated his way to two wins over Punk earlier this month and believed that he deserved a shot at the title. Punk and Starks quickly set up a match for the belt on next week’s episode of Collision, with Starks hoping to finally prove himself as the rightful champion.
But Punk wasn’t willing to leave anything to chance. After being screwed over by bad officiating in the past, Punk named a special referee for the match – pro wrestling legend Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat. Steamboat, known for his legendary matches and fairness, will ensure that the match between Punk and Starks is decided fairly.
This announcement has created a buzz among wrestling fans, who are eagerly anticipating the clash between Punk and Starks for the AEW world championship. The addition of Steamboat as the special referee adds an extra layer of excitement and intrigue to the match, as fans can expect a fair and unbiased officiating.
AEW has been making waves in the world of professional wrestling with its roster of talented performers and exciting storylines. The return of CM Punk has only added to the company’s momentum, as fans are once again captivated by Punk’s presence and his quest to reclaim the title that he never lost.
