The event will take place at 6 PM BST at Wembley Stadium. For the United States, the event will broadcast at 1 PM ET and 10 AM PT. ## AEW All In 2023: CM Punk vs. Samoa Joe Full Match Recap Nigel McGuinness astutely remarked that Joe seems to have a "Sweet Tooth" for seeking revenge. Punk responded with a smirk, acknowledging that he landed the initial chop and employed his speed early to evade Joe's strikes. Caught in a headlock, Joe slithered to the outside and delivered impactful chops to Punk. Once back in the ring, Punk found himself swaying on the ropes, much like Terry Funk, while enduring a relentless barrage of chops from Joe. ## Joe attempted his trademark sidestep to counter a cross body, but Punk was ready, executing a well-timed hurricanrana that dropped Joe on his head. Joe managed to regain control, employing an old-school ROH Ole, Ole kick on the outside. Punk, however, made another hurricanrana attempt from the apron, but Joe caught him mid-air and forcefully swung him through the lower part of the announce table, causing Punk to bleed. Inside the ring, Joe systematically picked Punk apart, highlighted by a corner charge and a blood-drenched enzuigiri. His signature sequence, featuring an atomic drop, big boot, and running senton, garnered a near fall, followed by a double down when Punk countered the Muscle Buster with a high kick. ## In a nod to John Cena, Punk executed a series of shoulder tackles and a spinning back suplex, adding a touch of Hulk Hogan by incorporating a leg drop, which drew jeers from the crowd. Joe, displaying a show of strength, rallied with strikes and a snap powerslam. He transitioned from an STF to a crossface, only for Punk to escape with a forceful high kick. The crowd's boos grew louder as Punk continued to draw heat, even mimicking the Terry Funk spinning toe hold. Joe countered with an inside cradle after an STO, yet Punk eluded the Muscle Buster once again and nailed his former ROH finisher, the Pepsi Plunge, securing the victory. ## AEW All In 2023: CM Punk vs. Samoa Joe Match Winner WINNER: CM PUNK ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
