CM Punk is your new AEW World Champion.
During Sunday night’s AEW Double or Nothing pay-per-view event, CM Punk defeated Hangman Page in a match that began after midnight EST to capture the title.
The finish of the match came when Punk countered Page’s Buckshot Lariat with a GTS. Just prior to this, Hangman Page was about to hit CM Punk with the title, but decided against it.
CM Punk is now AEW World Champion for the very first time. Additionally, this marks the first time he’s held a World Championship since his WWE Heavyweight Championship reign ended in January of 2013.
Hangman Page’s AEW World Title reign ends at 198 days.
