CM Punk details some of the names he wants to work with in WWE and wants to give Damian Priest an unforgettable Madison Square Garden moment.
Outside of Drew McIntyre and house show matches against Dominik Mysterio, CM Punk hasn't gotten the opportunity to work with too many names since returning to WWE. During a recent "The Hot Tag" appearance on 103.5 KISS FM, Punk named some of the people he wants to get in the ring with one day.
Not only does Punk feel like there's still meat on the bones with names such as Randy Orton, John Cena, and Rey Mysterio, but he also thinks they could be fun and matches against the likes of Chad Gable and Ludwig Kaiser. Punk even said he wants to give Damian Priest a main event match in Madison Square Garden after flight troubles prevented Priest from competing in a dark match main event when he was the World Champion.
"It’s a fair mix of people that I’ve already been in the ring with and people I haven’t. Getting back in the ring with guys like Rey Mysterio or John Cena, Randy (Orton), Cody (Rhodes). There is fun stuff to do there. Then there is the crop of people that I’ve never been in the ring with. Chad Gable is one that really sticks out. I like watching (Ludwig) Kaiser. I think he’s pretty incredible. Gunther, obviously. It’s a fair mix of people I have existed with in the past and people I haven’t even been on-screen with. I did some dark matches with Dominik and I think I could do some pretty great television with him. Him and Liv are spectacular. Damian Priest is another one. I got a loose promise with him that me and him are going to main event the Garden. He was supposed to main event the Garden with a dark match, he had really bad flight trouble and didn’t make it. I owe him that. The answer is everybody."
CM Punk knows a thing or two about competing in Madison Square Garden. At WWE Survivor Series 2011, Punk defeated Alberto Del Rio to begin his 434-day reign as WWE Champion.
Up next for CM Punk is a Hell in a Cell match against Drew McIntyre at WWE Bad Blood. Check out the full card here.
