Okay, so let me tell you about this CM Punk injury situation. Man, what a mess, right? I was following along live, and it all happened so fast.
First off, I was super hyped for All Out. Punk vs. Jon Moxley II? Sign me up! I mean, the build-up was intense. The promo battles? Chef’s kiss. I had my snacks ready, the stream loaded, and I was ready to go.
Then the match started. Right away, you could feel the energy. Both guys were going at it, trading blows. It was a proper brawl, exactly what I was hoping for. But then, bam! Punk hits that diving crossbody, and he lands awkwardly. I rewound it like five times; his foot just twisted in a weird way.
At first, I thought it was just a tweak. Wrestlers work through stuff all the time, right? But then, you could see him favoring it. He started moving gingerly. It was clear something was wrong. Moxley, being the pro he is, started targeting the leg. Smart move, but it made me wince every time.
The match continued, but it definitely changed. Punk was visibly in pain, but he kept fighting. You gotta respect the guy’s toughness. He managed to pull out the win, but you could see the struggle. He barely celebrated; he was just trying to get out of the ring.
After the show, the rumors started flying. People were speculating about a broken foot, a torn ligament, the whole shebang. I hit up all my usual wrestling news sites, refreshing every five minutes. Finally, the news broke: torn triceps. Ouch. That’s a serious injury, man.
Recovery time is gonna be a while. I’m thinking at least six to eight months, maybe even longer. It sucks for Punk, it sucks for AEW, and it definitely sucks for us fans. The guy just won the title, and now he’s sidelined. Talk about bad luck!
So, what’s next? That’s the million-dollar question. AEW has to figure out what to do with the championship. There’s gonna be an interim champ, for sure. Who will it be? MJF? Bryan Danielson? Maybe even Moxley again? The possibilities are endless.
Overall, it’s a bummer situation. I’m hoping Punk has a speedy recovery and comes back stronger than ever. In the meantime, I’ll be watching AEW to see how they navigate this whole thing. It’s gonna be interesting, that’s for sure.
