Posted on September 10, 2022 by Ethan Renner

CM Punk underwent surgery earlier this week to repair a torn left triceps suffered during Sunday’s AEW All Out pay-per-view.

Writing in today’s Daily Update, Dave Meltzer notes that Punk’s doctor recommended the surgery happen quickly to avoid muscle atrophy, and that the recovery time from the surgery is typically eight months.

Punk defeated Jon Moxley in the All Out main event to win the AEW World Championship, but was stripped of the title without being mentioned by name at the top of Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite episode following a backstage incident involving Punk, The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, and Ace Steel after Punk’s comments at the All Out media scrum following the show.

A tournament to crown a new AEW World Champion is underway, with the finals set to take place at Dynamite Grand Slam on September 21.

Punk also underwent surgery earlier this year to repair a broken foot suffered on the June 1 Dynamite. He returned to Dynamite on August 24.

AEW World Champion CM Punk undergoes successful lower leg surgery

Posted on June 9, 2022 by Ethan Renner

AEW World Champion CM Punk has undergone successful lower leg surgery, according to the promotion.

AEW announced during this week’s Dynamite that Punk underwent an unspecified operation on his leg on Wednesday, and that the surgery was deemed a success.

Punk was injured last week and announced on last Friday’s Rampage that he would be out of action due to the injury. Punk made reference to “a couple of things” being broken and having a “broken wheel” during his Rampage promo, but the official diagnosis has not been made public.

Punk was not stripped of the AEW World title, and a tournament is underway to crown an interim World title holder, with the winner facing Punk for the title when he is able to return.

Kyle O’Reilly won a battle royal for the right to face Jon Moxley in a first round match in the tournament, a match that Moxley won. At Sunday’s NJPW Dominion show, Hiroshi Tanahashi will take on Hirooki Goto, with the winner set to face Moxley for the interim AEW World title at Forbidden Door on Sunday, June 26.
