• Rumor Killer On CM Punk’s 1st AEW World Title Win
At the Double Or Nothing 2022 pay-per-view, CM Punk defeated “Hangman” Adam Page to win the AEW World Championship for the 1st time in his career.
There’s a rumor going on that Punk was originally scheduled to lose this match, but he forced AEW President Tony Khan to change the finish and book him to win.
According to the Wrestling Observer, that’s not the case and Punk was always scheduled to win:
“As far as rumor corrections, the story going around that Punk was originally going to lose to Adam Page at last year’s Double or Nothing but pressured Tony Khan to change the finish is not true.
Punk was always winning that match. I had said before the match that it was me, I’d have Page win the first meeting and Punk then win the title in Chicago, but Khan wanted the title on Punk months earlier and that wasn’t Punk’s doing or pressuring.”
