#3 CM Punk vs. Kevin Owens
One current WWE Superstar most comparable to CM Punk might be Kevin Owens. He made a fantastic name for himself before joining WWE but did not seem like somebody who would succeed in the company's system. But just like Punk, albeit to a lesser extent, Owens shattered all doubts.
KO is capable of magic on the microphone and cut a "pipe bomb" of sorts in 2019, when he called out Shane McMahon for taking up too much TV time. He has a history of hating the McMahons, having faced Shane O'Mac multiple times over the years.
That element likens him to CM Punk, with the two of them being excellent anti-heroes. But Kevin Owens would likely revert to being the heel for a program like this. With neither man holding back, the promos would be phenomenal.
Their in-ring styles would mesh very well, potentially similar to KO's matches against Sami Zayn and Punk's matches against John Cena. The two have never wrestled, which ticks CM Punk's box of working with somebody he hasn't faced before, if he returns to the ring.
