When CM Punk returned to professional wrestling and made his debut in AEW, everyone had thought of him losing his touch with in-ring competition. However, his first match after returning against Darby Allin cemented the fact that he never forgot about his pro wrestling moves.

However, on Sunday at Double or Nothing, Punk seemed to be lost, some touch in his match against Adam Page. A YouTube Channel Flexico squad shared a video of CM Punk botching Shot Lariat Twice during his match with Page.

While connecting the first, Lariat Punk slipped while jumping over the ropes and hence he couldn’t connect it. Also, on the second he faced the similar situation, but this time, connected it. However, it was a botch, and it seemed CM Punk could not perform this maneuver.
