10 Wrestlers CM Punk MUST Face In AEW

3. Malakai Black

AEW's signing of Malakai Black seems to be an omen that they are about to hit their stride. The promotion's roster was already substantial, but now it's packed from head to toe with name-brand stars, and fans are chomping at the bit to see them all face off. If CM Punk also enters the fray, then he'd have to take on this dark character.

There was a time when this dream match could only be hypothetical, as a return to the ring from Punk seemed impossible. However, now that it's actually on the cards, it's something AEW would be foolish not to take advantage of.

Punk/Black's wrestling connections are immense, as both of them are known for their striking kicks and forward-thinking styles. A battle between the wrestlers would push them both to their limit, and there would be plenty of chances for them to wow audiences with quick exchanges, creative spots and clever narratives.

Also, it has to be said that their tattoo designs would make this an epic clash of body art, which would compliment the profoundly good wrestling.
