Punk being out is a major blow to the company. He was gonna be doing major money the next number of months.
Its being reported he injured his leg doing the crowd dive deal on Dynamite. Its why he botched a top rope move and limped back off camera to talk to MJF.

According to Sean Ross Sapp, AEW will crown an interim champion with a battle royale

They just had a tournament so doing a battle royal is a good call.
While MJF winning makes quick sense and he plays tweener role ..it could be too soon for him angle wise. If the idea is to get people to think he's gonna go WWE in 2024 in storyline...putting the title on him now mid 2022 can put a lot of air out of one last year there teasing wise.

i don't wish injury upon anybody but i don't feel quite so bad now knowing how he hurt himself. can't help but feel there's a little karma involved when somebody gets hurt while engaging in that type of self indulgent ass clownery. that said the title picture just got a lot more interesting as did tanahashi's match at forbidden door. i'd say put the title on brianson now and maybe do house of black vs bcc.
so the hotel i stayed at wednesday due to my employee discount ended up being the same hotel the aew wrestlers and staff stayed. so every time we left our room we'd see wrestlers in the elevator, lobby, bar, restaurant etc. including a lot that weren't on the show. saw pac, mark henry, matt hardy & reby, taz, qt's whole crew, jd drake, john silver, trent, chuck, matt sydal, thunder rosa, keith lee, jericho, dante martin and probably some more i'm forgetting all around the hotel.

Honestly the crowd thing looks like the most safest thing ever really. This reminds me of when Rob Van Dam broke his ankle on a simple baseball slide to Rhino back in 2000.

he's almost ate **** doing the crowd surf thing a few times before, and honestly he's just not athletic enough to clear the distance most of the time. also if your leg is hurting why try a springboard move you can barely pull off when not hurting?? it's like he's in denial of what his body is capable of and it's causing him to make some very bad decisions(like the buckshot lariat attempts).
so the punk chasing mjf out of the ring thing wasn't on tv??
