CM Punk had a big career moment on Sunday night.
"The Best in the World" defeated "Hangman" Adam Page in the main event of the fourth-annual AEW Double Or Nothing pay-per-view, which emanated from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Following his AEW Championship victory to capture his first title in the promotion, the wrestling legend sat down and spoke with members of the media in attendance.
During the official post-AEW Double Or Nothing 2022 media scrum, Punk discussed wanting to square off against Bryan Danielson at some point during his AEW Championship reign.
Additionally, Punk named some Japanese talents and other NJPW and AEW stars he would be interested in facing at "The Forbidden Door" pay-per-view that the aforementioned pair of pro wrestling promotions will be presenting on June 26, 2022 at the United Center near his hometown of Chicago, Illinois.
Featured below are some of the highlights from CM Punk's post-AEW DoN 2022 media scrum where he touches on these topics with his thoughts.
On some names he would like to wrestle at "AEW & NJPW: The Forbidden Door" pay-per-view next month: "I think [Kazuchika] Okada, [Hiroshi] Tanahashi, [Will] Ospreay, guys like that I’m looking forward to stepping into the ring with. AEW talent — I always think number one with a bullet is going to be Bryan Danielson. I’ve never wrestled Jon Moxley — I’ve wrestled Dean Ambrose, so that’s an interesting match up. There’s still guys on my list that I’ve never wrestled with, Jungle Boy, Ricky Starks. I could probably finish out my career wrestling FTR every day for the rest of my life, and it could be different and fun every single time. Will Hobbs is another guy that I think has all the potential in the world."
On how he admits that selfishly he hopes Bryan Danielson is on the list: "We’ve got a really stacked roster. It’s almost a crime that we can’t do everybody justice at once, but I think we’re getting there with baby steps. I think we’re learning. I think we make mistakes, but instead of dwelling on it and punishing other people or ourselves, I think we move on and try to learn from things. But Bryan Danielson will probably be the first guy that comes to mind. Very selfishly, I’d love to wrestle him."
