The Bastard is one of AEW's most intense and frightening opponents. Watching his matches nowadays is a far cry from his WWE days as a high-flying superhero babyface, as he tears his adversaries apart slowly and always hits hard. Thanks to this, he's someone who fans would love to cross into CM Punk's lane.

While Punk has often felt like the underdog in his matches, he never goes in with a sense of dread or insecurity. It was standard for the Straight-Edge Superstar to waltz into all his encounters with confidence - even when facing opponents like The Undertaker. However, pairing him with Pac could bring a sense of fear that fans rarely see from Punk.

The match itself would be mesmerising, as both of the stars are energetic and quick, meaning their exchanges could be electric. Punk even has a striking moveset, which he'd have to push to the max just to stand toe-to-toe with Pac; meaning there would be a real sense of dread and unpredictability in this showdown.

It would be a fresh direction for both the performers and the audience would no doubt love it.
