AEW Dynamite: World Title Unification and ROH World Title Match confirmed

After
a
confrontation
on
Dynamite,
AEW
has
confirmed
that
the
AEW
world
champion
CM
Punk
will
face
Interim
world
champion
Jon
Moxley
to
unify
the
titles
during
next
week’s
episode.

As
seen
on
the
latest
bygone
August
17
edition
of
Dynamite,
Punk
addressed
the
Interim
AEW
World
Champion,
Jon
Moxley.
Punk
said
Mox
has
always
been
2the
second
best
to
him
and
is
the
third
best
guy
in
his
group
(referring
to
his
Shield
days
in
WWE).

Punk
then
challenged
Moxley
to
a
match
at
All
Out
for
the
Undisputed
AEW
World
Title
and
continue
to
be
the
second
best
when
he
beats
him
in
Chicago.
Moxley
arrived
at
the
ring
and
said
that
he
has
the
heart
and
soul
that
Punk
never
had.
Punk
is
only
in
AEW
since
he’s
run
out
of
money.

Punk
then
took
a
shot
at
how
Moxley
often
keeps
himself
bladed
with
the
intention
of
spurring
blood
on
live
TV.
The
two
eventually
got
into
a
brawl
and
the
challenge
was
left
unanswered.

Afterward,
AEW
confirmed
on
social
media
that
Punk
and
Moxley
will
now
battle
on
next
week’s
episode
of
Dynamite
to
determine
the
Undisputed
AEW
World
Champion.

Punk
won
the
AEW
title
from
Hangman
Page
at
Double
or
Nothing
in
May
but
he
suffered
an
injury,
six
days
later
and
had
to
go
into
a
hiatus.
In
his
absence,
the
promotion
crowned
Mox
to
be
the
interim
world
champion
at
Forbidden
Door.

AEW
programme
also
carries
forward
the
ROH
World
Title
after
AEW
President
bought
the
latter
promotion
and
dissolved
it
with
their
own
contents.
Hence,
another
title
defense
is
set
for
the
reigning
ROH
World
Champion,
within
two
weeks
from
now.

According
to
the
reports
from
PWInsider,
the
most
recent
episode
of
AEW
Rampage
saw
Wheeler
Yuta
and
ROH
World
Champion
Claudio
Castagnoli
entering
the
arena
and
thereby
getting
a
shout-out
from
Ricky
Steamboat,
who
was
seated
in
the
front
row.

Claudio
threw
an
open
challenge
over
his
title
and
it
was
accepted
by
veteran
Dustin
Rhodes
(fka
Goldust
in
WWE).
Per
the
source,
Dustin
will
now
challenge
for
the
ROH
World
Championship
on
the
August
26
edition
of
AEW
Rampage.

Interestingly,
both
the
two
top
title
matches
from
AEW
will
go
down
just
a
week
prior
to
AEW
All
Out.
So,
unless,
there’d
be
any
twists
in
the
tale,
the
next
PPV
event
of
the
promotion
won’t
have
any
top
world
title
match
on
the
card.
