I'm speaking dramaturgically. There's no literal Romeo and Juliet getting hurt, but in the story they both die.

That's what is meant by "punching."

Every rising action is met by a falling action. In a comedy format the tension rises to a punch line, where the punching happens, the fall is the release of laughter, and then resetting for the next joke.
