CM Punk and Bryan Danielson made their AEW debuts within weeks of each other, and fans have already started wondering what a match between the two men could look like. It happening seems inevitable, but for Punk, he's hopeful that they can actually work together as a tag team in the near future.
"I want to tag with Bryan Danielson," he revealed on the AEW Unrestricted podcast (via WrestlingNews.co). "I don’t know if anybody has ever spoken about this before, but before I left Ring of Honor for WWE, we were thinking what’s next for CM Punk after winning the title and all that stuff."
"There was a thing we were kicking around with maybe me and American Dragon tagging up, just black boots, black trunks, kind of like a Bockwinkel and Stevens for a new era," Punk continued. "Of course, we were both like, ‘Yeah, that sounds like something we could really sink our teeth into.’"
He added that "I still think there’s potential to do that," and we tend to agree. They briefly paired up in WWE, but that partnership ended when The Shield took aim at Punk and Bryan ended up falling victim to The Wyatt Family. It wasn't long after that the Best in the World decided to leave WWE.
