CM Punk defeated Adam “Hangman” Page on Sunday night at the Double or Nothing pay-per-view to become the new AEW World Champion. Late in the match Page went for the Buckshot Lariat, but an attempted GTS counter from Punk resulted in the referee getting knocked out with a kick to the head. Page then considered nailing Punk with the AEW title, but backed off and tried for another Buckshot. Punk countered it yet again to nail the GTS and get the pin, winning his first world championship in professional wrestling since 2013. He closed out the show with tears in his eyes as he clutched the gold, then thanked the fans in attendance at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena.
