I have a hard time deciding who I want to come out of this as champion...but I'm kinda leaning more toward Mox.
Who's side are you on?

Punk
I’m so over Moxley. Same generic “I’m a real pro wrestler not some sports entertainer” BS promo and just bleeds every match. Sucks too. I was always a fan of the guy but now I don’t even care to see him.

I like the Mox character, but don't like Super Cena Mox. Punk is old. No interest in him at all. But I want him to win just to get the belt off Mox. Mox loses when he's not champ.

Honestly neither. While Moxley has gotten better since leaving the WWE. I don’t think he can actually have an actual “non-gimmicky” match. And he still can’t throw a decent believable punch/strike.
And Punk I have said since he came back last year he has no business being the world champion for at least a year or two after being out of the business for several years. But at least with Punk he can actually have traditional wrestling matches. So I guess if I had to pick one of them it would be Punk.
Still I think it doesn’t do anything for the rest of the roster having the belt on a guy who hadn’t wrestled for several years come back and beat everyone including the champion. Basically it says the roster is so weak that a guy off the street is better than everyone including the champion.

Punk every single day, though AEW has done so good at making me care about Mox. Have Punk win and Mox move on to eventually winning the tag belts with Bryan or Eddie.
Hell have Mox, Bryan and Eddie win the trios belts off the first champs.

Mox is borderline terrible so this is a very easy choice

Like others this isnt a hard decision for me,Mox does nothing for me anymore. Im hoping Punk takes it and looks strong for a while until hopefully MJF returns and gets his first taste of gold. If Mox goes to the back of the line like others that loses the titles,ill be a happy,happy guy.

I'm not the biggest fan of Mox either but he's put the company on his back in Punk's absence and would feel he deserves more than an "interm" reign.
I've never been a huge Punk guy either, there's other guys on the roster I hope they put the title on soon.

As long as Punk is back for real, then him. He can’t not have an actual run with the belt. But I feel like a Mox win would be an interesting swerve given that everyone will be expecting Punk to win.

Ive got two thoughts here.
Mox, but only if they turn BCC fully heel like they teased when the group came together and let them run AEW for a while.
Punk, but only if his reign is eventually used to put someone new over like Malakai, Miro, or MJF.

I was always a fan of the guy but now I don’t even care to see him. This. I firmly believe Mox's first reign as AEW World Champ was the best one they've had but this new one has been awful. You hit the nail on the head with the bleeding and the promos but I'd like to add just the really worthless challengers he's faced. Outside of the title match at Forbidden Door against Tanahashi he didn't have a worthwhile contender/challenger until Jericho. I like Rush but him, Warner, King, and Takecrapa are all really low on the list of legitimate challengers for a top prize like the AEW world title should be. That's less of a knock on him but it feels more like audible type booking for an unplanned champion than what should've gone down had Punk won the belt, though I'm not entirely confident Punk wouldn't have had these sorts of matches too.

Moxley whole AEW Title reign is purely a gimmick.... that being that he has to blade in every AEW Title match and bleed.
I rather have CM Punk as AEW World Champion than Jon Moxley. Moxley needs to just go to GCW and wrestle there full time so he can bleed in all his matches.

I like Moxleys bloody, gimmick match crap, I like it more when it's for a belt.
All of Punks feuds are good TV doesn't matter that he has the title. His storyline with MJF trumps his work with Adam Page and the championship chase.

Have them split the belt and share it like LayCool.

Mox. Can’t stand Punk, never could, so for me anyone is better. I actually do kind of like Mox. He’s not my first choice, but I’d rather it be him than Jericho or Kenny.

Depends who is next in line.
If it's going to go specifically to Adam Cole, Kenny, Malakai, Jericho, and I think maybe even Miro, I want Mox to win. If it's going to basically anyone else, Wardlow, MJF, Hangman, Kingston, etc, then Punk.

Either one of those guys could be done suddenly & it would be a shame if we never got that matchup.
