Ever since Darby Allin issued an open challenge in Chicago by specifically mentioning that it could even be the best in the world, many are expecting CM Punk to confront the former TNT champion at AEW Rampage next week.

However, Darby Allin denied referencing the name of CM Punk, stating that he meant Sammy Guevara, who also claims to be the best.
