CM Punk responded to Samoa Joe’s challenge on Friday night’s episode of AEW Collision and the two will fight for the “Real” AEW World Championship at All In 2023 next weekend.
Joe was set to wrestle The Golden Vampire on AEW Collision, but the Vampire attacked the ROH TV Champion first.
After nailing Joe with a knee in the corner and a GTS, the masked character revealed himself as Punk.
Punk then accepted Joe’s challenge and the match was made official.
