CM Punk surprises by revealing future WWE opponent he wants to face

CM Punk discussed his desired future opponents during an interview with Peter Rosenberg at ComplexCon. The Second City Savior listed several talents he hopes to face, from regular bouts to marquee matchups.

“I think Chad Gable is on the top of the list. I think Bronson Reed is on the top of the list. [Ludwig] Kaiser is someone I see a lot in, GUNTHER, and I’m selfishly talking about guys that I would like to wrestle at house shows,” Punk said.

Regarding potential premium live event matchups, Punk mentioned Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and The Rock. When Rosenberg brought up John Cena’s retirement tour, Punk responded, “There’s Big Match John too, which is a guy that I don’t wanna talk about, because he’s gonna do his own thing, and if I’m a part of that, then what a fortunate career I’ve had.”

CM Punk addresses wife AJ Lee’s WWE return

During the same interview, Punk addressed speculation about his wife AJ Lee’s potential WWE return. “You can’t tell me she wouldn’t fit in there,” Punk said, noting women’s matches now regularly open and close WWE shows.

Several current WWE Superstars, including Bayley, Liv Morgan, Cora Jade, and Roxanne Perez, have expressed interest in Lee’s return. While Punk acknowledged her growing interest following his comeback, he emphasized that Lee’s schedule remains the primary consideration. “It’s more of a workload thing for her. She is very busy,” he explained.
