CM Punk has named more AEW stars he wants to wrestle following his match with Darby Allin at All Out on Sunday.
On Busted Open Radio, Punk was asked who he was looking forward to working with, now he’s with AEW.
The former WWE Champion noted that he wants to face everybody, before naming the likes of The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega as potential teammates and opponents.
Stating how AEW reminds him of a studio wrestling show, Punk said:
“The lame answer is everybody. I’ve never worked with The Young Bucks. I’ve never worked with Kenny Omega. I’ve worked with Cody in what, 2009? Those are the guys that I never mention when I’m doing media because I always feel the need to put the spotlight on other young guys like Darby Allin, Pillman Jr. Hobbs, Ricky Starks.
“There’s people that have potential. If you know anything about wrestling, and you watch the program, you see those guys, and you go, ‘That guy right there. That guy’s got something.’ I love how they are rough around the edges. That’s so great.
“It reminds me of watching an old wrestling television show, studio wrestling, and seeing guys where not everything is super polished. Not everything is an LED screen. These guys have different gear, different looks, personalities that are all different. You can tell they all come from different spots.
“They’ve trained in different ways and they have different styles. That’s what 100% attracted me to the AEW locker room. Why wouldn’t I want to wrestle these guys? Why wouldn’t I want to go there? You can talk about big money matches. There’s way more in AEW than there is anywhere else for me.”
Punk’s match with Darby Allin this weekend will be his first since Royal Rumble 2014. Punk has explained why Allin it the perfect opponent for his wrestling return.
The former WWE Champion has now put an end to speculation that his wife, AJ Lee, will be joining him in AEW.
