Punk made his return to AEW on Dynamite tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Punk appeared on AEW TV for the first time since June 3 when he announced he was taking time off for an injury to his foot.<\/p>\n<p>Punk appeared to save Jon Moxley from a beatdown from the Jericho Appreciation Society after Moxley had succesfully defended the AEW Interim World Championship against Chris Jericho. Moxley was taking a beating when Punk&#8217;s music played. He ran down the entrance ramp to a big pop and cleared the ring of the J.A.S.<\/p>\n<p>Punk, the current AEW World Champion, went face-to-face with Moxley once he recovered. Moxley ended up flipping Punk off and he bumped into Punk intentionally on his way to exiting the ring. Moxley left with Claudio Castagnoli.<\/p>\n<p>Punk was left alone in the ring and he hopped up and down on his injured leg to show he has recovered from his foot injury. Punk&#8217;s return presumably sets up a unification match for him against Jon Moxley in the near future.<\/p>\n<p><em>Contact Sean at pwtorchsean@gmail.com.
