Since his return to professional wrestling after seven years away, CM Punk remains one of the biggest stories in the industry. He’s put together an undefeated run to date in AEW, pushing his record to 7-0. That includes wins over Eddie Kingston, Darby Allin, Powerhouse Hobbs, Daniel Garcia, and others.
Fans pushed for AEW to sign Moriarty for months and that finally came to fruition back in September. Moriarty’s independent run through promotions like Ring of Honor, MLW, Warrior Wrestling, and Beyond led him to become a highly touted prospect in the industry. He’s a multiple-time champion during that run, including holding a variety of titles for PWX.
Moriarty has had eight matches in AEW, putting together a 2-6 record, with one win coming in a singles match against Nick Comoroto, and the other being a tag match with Matt Sydal against 2point0.
