10 Wrestlers CM Punk MUST Face In AEW
6. Kenny Omega
Like almost every star who joins AEW, the prospect of Punk taking on the Best Bout Machine is already on the fans' minds. Omega is always bound to put on a good match, and even at his worst, you'll still find gold in his encounters. So, pairing him up with a star who had a similar reputation for consistently delivering inside the ring is an elementary decision.
Both Punk and Omega are known for their fast pace, great storytelling and exciting move-sets. The pair both have reputations for stealing the show in their respective companies, but Omega actually got the chance to become the face of AEW; something Punk never truly found in WWE.
Seeing the Second City Saint go right after Omega would make perfect sense, as he's easily a talent who should be vying for the AEW World Title as soon as possible. Whether he claims it or not is uncertain, as giving him the belt early on could be a risk, but fans would at least love to see him try.
There's even a straightforward story to tell here, with Punk coming to get his crown as the top dog in the company and Omega digging his claws into his main event status and refusing to let go.
