10 Wrestlers Claudio Castagnoli MUST Face In AEW
1. CM Punk
The currently injured AEW Heavyweight Champion has never shied away from telling people how big a fan he is of Claudio Castagnoli. He has been singing his praises for years, which shouldn't come as a surprise.
Punk is a pure bread ROH guy and a big fan of pro wrestling, both of which are golden ingredients for being a Castagnoli fanatic. So, with that kind of passion on one end of the spectrum and likely the same amount of enthusiasm on the other, you've got the makings of a match that will be filled to the brim with emotion.
Punk captures almost all the points from the previous entries and moulds them into one. He's another former WWE guy who never got the chance to wrestle Castagnoli one-on-one, has his roots in the independent circuit and is a phenomenal professional wrestler. All of these factors are the ingredients to a stellar, once-in-a-lifetime wrestling bout.
Fans certainly want to see Claudio in the World Title picture, so the thought of Punk vs Castagnoli also sporting some gold on the line seems like an easy PPV main event. Here's hoping it comes true.
