In a now deleted Instagram post, Punk openly discussed the All Out match against Moxley, says he wasn&#8217;t medically cleared for the first match against Moxley on television, and called Chris Jericho a stooge. Punk was responding to a post by Dave Meltzer on The Wrestling Observer boards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t cleared to come back to wrestle yet, \u201cPunk said in the post. \u201cThe plan was to wrestle at the PPV [All Out]. I sat and listened to Moxley\u2019s <i>Rocky III <\/i>idea. I explained how I\u2019d never seen a Rocky movie and thought the idea sucked, but if the boss wanted to do it whatever. He said he wouldn\u2019t lose to me. I\u2019d never experienced someone refusing to lose to me. I just laughed. I asked Tony if this was what he wanted. He said yes. He\u2019s the boss, so I said okay, but I\u2019d need to be cleared first. They kept saying it could just be a squash, so I didn\u2019t need to be cleared. I scoffed at that. My health is more important. Dave Meltzer is a liar. Jericho is a liar and a stooge. There were plans, but plans always change. I\u2019ll never put a company above my health ever again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Punk lost to Moxley in their televised AEW World Championship unification match ahead of All Out on PPV. Punk then defeated Moxley at the PPV to become the AEW World Champion. After that match, Punk went on a tirade during the post-event media scrum, which led to a physical altercation between him and The Elite. Punk has been sidelined with a torn tricep injury and has not been seen in AEW since that night.<\/p>\n<p>Reports indicate that Punk is nearing a clear bill of health, but there are no indications as to if or when Punk may be back with AEW.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2023\/03\/24\/major-cm-punk-update-on-a-new-episode-of-all-elite-wrap-up\/\">Major CM Punk update on a new episode of All Elite Wrap-Up<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-866297262\"><div id=\"pwtor-1215991248\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>CM Punk claims that the booking around his championship match last summer at All Out was what it was due to Jon Moxley refusing to lose to him.
