5 Dream Matches That Could Happen in AEW

#4 CM Punk vs. Kenny Omega

Kenny Omega was a huge score for AEW. If CM Punk ever wrestles again, AEW could be the place, and Omega could be the opponent.

CM Punk has declared himself retired from wrestling and there’s a general sense that he was fed up with WWE and didn’t want to take a step down to a smaller stage. All Elite Wrestling presents a fascinating alternative—a newer, smaller machine than WWE, but nonetheless one with big money, big names, and bit potential attached to it.

Punk worked a signing over All In weekend, showing some level of cooperation with the organization that would lead to AEW. If the Straight Edge Superstar ever does work another match, it’s reasonable enough to think it would be in an AEW ring.

If Punk were to come back, Kenny Omega would make a terrific opponent, as a guy with a comparable pedigree and style from working smaller promotions, with the added bonus that he’s still at the top of his game, which could help compensate for any ring rust on Punk’s part.
