News regarding the decision to have CM Punk vs. Jon Moxley take place on AEW Dynamite

AEW world champion CM Punk will be facing interim world champion Jon Moxley in a unification match on tonight’s AEW Dynamite. According to Fightful Select, the match taking place on Dynamite instead of All Out was not the original plan and “multiple plans” for the PPV have apparently changed. Fightful also noted the following…

“AEW sources indicated that Jon Moxley was in favor of the move, and one source even indicated that it was his idea and pitch, and All Elite Wrestling went with it. The same source also said that ‘eventually CM Punk agreed to it.’

During Busted Open Radio, AEW President Tony Khan commented on the match taking place during Dynamite…

“I feel like it would be a great match at any time. But tonight it felt like the right night for this big fight, and after last week, we really couldn’t keep these guys apart.”

“I think tonight on TBS presents a great opportunity for a big fight. Of course, as we approach All Out, the card is going to be massive, and we’re going to have a much better idea of what that’s going to look like.”
