Punk, since he's been unable to defend the title before All Out, and Moxley had a long reign already.

There’s no way Punk should lose. Would be a horrible move.

Mox has done an excellent job, but it has to be Punk. He never had the chance to get going with the title and I think Punk as champ opens up more possibilities.

Mox has done a great job of holding down the fort, but now it's Punk's time to be the Undisputed AEW World Champion. His first true defense shouldn't be his last.

Mox if he wins via heel turn. Otherwise Punk.

Love Mox to death, but it's gotta be Punk.

The only way I see Mox winning is dependent on how Punk’s foot really is feeling. He looked great last night, so maybe it’s a moot point anyway, but maybe he’s coming back to drop it to Mox properly before he takes more time off. That to me would be a real good justification to have Mox win and be champ going forward.
But again, that might be moot since it seemed like he was fine or close to fine last night. If he’s able to go and go on an actual title run, then he has to win.

“Obvious” booking to me going forward would be:
Punk beat Mox Kingston beats Punk MJF return and beat Kingston to ruin a fairytale moment.

Moxley is great, but Moxley had a very long run with the top title already, one that absolutely saved the company during a rough time, but it feels like Punk time. AEW moves fairly slow with its world title, and I'd rather see fresh faces and new stories with it, where Moxley hasn't really changed as a character since his reign. I'm not sick of his character like some are, but I'd still rather see fresh material at the top.

Punk has to win. He is their top guy and needs a run with the belt. Moxley is insanely over and will lose nothing if he loses a hard fought battle with CM Punk. Neither needs to turn heel here either. Unless they move the entire BCC heel.

I'd go with Punk. Moxley just has so many other things he can do with BCC post title match. This is still where Punk should be right now.

Mox is actually the perfect opponent for Punk returning off an injury and surgery. Mox's style allows for a lot of brawling and smoke and mirrors to mask any rustiness Punk might have. He won't have to wrestle a clinic his first match back. A knock down drag out brutal brawl is perfect. Punk vs Mox: Chicago Street Fight is all I can picture for All Out. I picture a regular match. Hell of a story could be told in the match with Mox going after Punk’s foot only for Punk to snag the win still.

Let's go Winter of Punk!
(Very much enjoying Moxley's run, but he can keep having these fights without a belt as the influence)

Punk seems like such a douche, but him winning would be bigger for AEW.

So after kicking out of the Judas Effect last night, how many GTS's is it going to take for Moxley to actually take a clean loss (assuming he does)?

Punk, simply because AEW is pretty thin at the top of the card right now and Moxley has already had feuds with most of AEW's established main eventers. At least with Punk the matches would feel fresher.

Punk absolutely should win. Even if I’ve personally found his return to wrestling rather underwhelming.

I think Punk is the one turning heel. Its been hinted slowly that his mask is starting to slip off and this humble act is starting to crack
