Post Punk Should Not Be Mox

Image
      CM Punk's title reign is coming to a pause due to an injury, just days after ending former AEW champion Adam Page's run. Punk came out on Rampage, AEW's B show and told the assembled crowd that he was hurt, needed surgery and was going to be away for a while. However, he's not dropping the belt, which will create an interim title in his absence.  The hours-old champion said he was going to come back, bigger, stronger and faster. Until the company needs a champion and so enters the madness that is the booking mind of owner Tony Khan.  Khan has announced that Moxley, the number one contender will face the winner of a contender's battle royal this Wednesday. The show will open with the battle royal and will fight Moxley in the main event.  The winner of that bout will go on to their next PPV Forbidden Door and face the winner of Hiroshi Tanahashi and Hirooki Goto who are fighting at New Japan's Dominion.  The winner will be crowned the interim champ...

(Photo Credit: WWE)       By Joshua Reese After weeks of, will he or won't he, All Elite Wrestling's (AEW) former Executive Vice President (EVP) Cody Rhodes made an electric debut at WrestleMania Night One, Saturday night in Dallas. Now that he's officially rejoined World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) after a six absence, the great Rhodes experiment begins. Between now and the end of the next WrestleMania, Rhodes, who once played a fanciful character called Stardust, will be the WWE's main champion. When Rhodes left he was considered a joke by most fans, losing his last match to Zack Ryder on an episode of Superstars. He lost 60% of his matches during his first WWE run, according to profightdb.com. On the indies, Rhodes helped start a rival promotion called AEW, smashed a throne - a metaphor to one of WWE's biggest stars, and said he would likely never return to the WWE. Loved or hated in AEW, he built himself into a main event star. He went through a table of fi...
