Update On Possible Opponents For CM Punk AEW Collision Return

Who will 'The Best in the World' feud with first on AEW Collision?

A number of potential CM Punk opponents have been pitched for his AEW return.

That's according to Fightful Select, who are reporting that there were heavy pitches for Chris Jericho to be Punk's first big feud post-return on June 17's debut edition of Collision. However, Fightful also noted how they hadn't heard much about that potential program for a while.

It was also revealed during an earlier Fightful report that Punk was interested in reigniting his legendary Ring of Honor feud with Samoa Joe in AEW. And that potential programme is still said to be in the works at this current moment.

But perhaps the most surprising name to pop up on this list of potential Punk rivals is Jay White, with it being noted by Fightful in the report that Punk has taken a liking to 'Switchblade's work. It's now thought that White could be an early opponent for the 'Chick Magnet', with Punk potentially clashing with both Bullet Club Gold's members, White and Juice Robinson, in a program.

With Collision's debut on June 17 now just two weeks away, it's still not exactly clear who will be the first star to challenge the 'Voice of the Voiceless' on AEW programming.
