Potential spoiler on Jon Moxley vs. CM Punk AEW World Championship unification match this week
Fans have seemingly chosen their proverbial horse in the race between Jon Moxley and CM Punk in AEW.
During the absence of the Second City Saint, the Purveyor of Violence rose up the ranks and became the Interim AEW World Champion. Since then, he has defended his title against the likes of Rush, Brody King and even Chris Jericho.
However, CM Punk's return to the scene has opened the floodgates to a war between the two top stars. Last week on Dynamite, Punk and Moxley went toe-to-toe in a verbal battle, with the latter being called out as the "2nd best" in more ways than one.
"I am the heart and soul of this company and every time they call me 'Interim Champion' it makes me think of you and it makes me sick"

CM Punk has been a hot topic lately due to his controversial promo last week
Despite being a favorite ahead of the upcoming match against Jon Moxley, Punk is currently under the public eye due to the noteworthy promo he cut last week on Dynamite.
Before his war of words with Moxley commenced, the Second City Saint apparently went off-script to call out his former rival, Hangman Adam Page. The issue reportedly stemmed from the real-life heat between the Cowboy and Punk, right from when Page was defeated at Double or Nothing.
