"CM Punk being a jobber on Vince McMahon's birthday" - Wrestling world erupts to former WWE Superstar's performance in title unification match against Jon Moxley

This week's AEW Dynamite shocked the pro-wrestling world as Jon Moxley took down CM Punk within 5 minutes of their match commencing.

The latest episode of Dynamite featured the Second City Saint going up against the Purveyor of Violence. The match would serve to unify the AEW World Champion titles. Given last week's intense promo between the two, fans were expecting a massive war when they clashed in the squared circle.

However, Punk's foot injury seemingly became a boon for Moxley as the second City Saint went down after attempting a kick. Mox wasted no time capitalizing and hit two Death Riders, pinning the World Champion to score the win.

This opened the floodgates to a barrage of reactions on Twitter, where fans were quick to reference CM Punk's former workplace.
