Before the title was vacated earlier tonight, CM Punk had defeated Jon Moxley to capture the belt at AEW All Out this past Sunday. The title win followed Punk's loss of the belt, which took place on the August 24 edition of Dynamite when he lost the AEW World Title Unification Match to Jon Moxley. Punk, along with many other AEW talent, are reportedly currently suspended from the company following the reported brawl backstage following the All Out press conference.
