10 Wrestlers CM Punk MUST Face In AEW

CM Punk indeed was the alternative wrestling icon of his time. But, that title nowadays, without a doubt, falls upon the shoulders of this gothic, skateboarding young star, who has taken All Elite by storm.

Darby Allin's corporate mould-breaking look and proficiency between the ropes makes him a highly formidable opponent, and he's easily a perfect choice for the returning Punk.

There's one significant reason why the two should meet - besides their in-ring potential - and that's their lifestyles. Punk worked his Straight Edge ideals into his wrestling persona perfectly, and it became one of the most essential monikers of his career. While he doesn't talk about it much, Allin is also part of this subculture, meaning there is plenty of potential to use it.

This pair could easily have a dramatic and hard-hitting match but come out the other side as companions, willing to collaborate thanks to their similar ideals. Hell, fans could even see a revival of the Straight-Edge Society; a stable that Punk ran during his time in WWE, which was notoriously cut short. The possibilities are endless.
