Jim Ross calls Punk and Moxley’s AEW World Title clash the companies biggest main event.
Moxley and Punk are set to unify the interim and full AEW World Championships at All Out next month after Punk returned to Dynamite last week. The two would have a staredown that has gotten an incredible amount of views on AEW’s Youtube Channel since it happened.
Speaking on his Grilling JR podcast, AEW announcer Jim Ross weighed in on Punk’s return.
“I knew he was in the building,” said Ross. “I saw him briefly, earlier in the day, in the trainer’s room, getting some attention. He sure has been missed, there is no doubt about it. The crowd’s reaction would indicate the same. They are ready to see him. I still don’t know how healthy the guy is. I asked on air ‘has he been cleared to wrestle?’ Nobody knew. He will be cleared. He’s under good doctor’s care. This process has been ongoing. He’s still in the process of healing as far as I’m concerned, until I get word that he’s 100%, I’m going to play it by ear. He’s a tough guy. Everyone wants to see him and Moxley beat the shit out of each other. You can count your bottom dollar that’s what they’re going to do. They both have that pride. It’s going to be, arguably, the biggest main event we’ve ever had considering all the ramifications going in and injuries and all these things. I’m excited about calling that match. I think it’s going to be fun as hell.”

The match between the pair is not official, but it is expected to go down at All Out. Time will tell how big the match will be in terms of drawing power.
