Cm Punk isn’t afraid of defending his newly won title.
Sunday at Double Or Nothing, we witnessed a huge moment as CM Punk would defeat Hangman Page for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship in a Match of The Year Contender.
While speaking during the post AEW Double Or Nothing media scrum, CM Punk named some opponents he wants to defend his title against. He named the likes of Kazuchika Okada and Bryan Danielson, among others.
“I think [Kazuchika] Okada, [Hiroshi] Tanahashi, [Will] Ospreay, guys like that I’m looking forward to stepping into the ring with. AEW talent — I always think number one with a bullet is going to be Bryan Danielson. I’ve never wrestled Jon Moxley — I’ve wrestled Dean Ambrose, so that’s an interesting match up. There’s still guys on my list that I’ve never wrestled with, Jungle Boy, Ricky Starks. I could probably finish out my career wrestling FTR every day for the rest of my life, and it could be different and fun every single time. Will Hobbs is another guy that I think has all the potential in the world.”
“We’ve got a really stacked roster. It’s almost a crime that we can’t do everybody justice at once, but I think we’re getting there with baby steps. I think we’re learning. I think we make mistakes, but instead of dwelling on it and punishing other people or ourselves, I think we move on and try to learn from things. But Bryan Danielson will probably be the first guy that comes to mind. Very selfishly, I’d love to wrestle him.”
