Mark Henry weighs in on a potential match between Kenny Omega and CM Punk.
Fans have clamored for a bout between CM Punk and Kenny Omega ever since Punk came to AEW in August 2021, seeing it as a dream match between two of the best in the world. Unfortunately for fans, the two have had no ties on television and a fractured behind the scenes relationship following AEW All Out 2022 when the two men were on opposite sides of a physical altercation.
Speaking on Torg & Elliott, Mark Henry was asked if fans would ever see Kenny Omega vs. CM Punk in a ring.
"I want to see it too. It's just a matter of time. You let things iron themselves out, and you see where things lead to. Could you imagine an AEW tournament for the World Title and on one side of the bracket, to go to the finals, you have Kenny Omega and CM Punk meet up against each other? It would be incredible," said Henry.
Punk and Omega were reportedly talking to each other after the All Out incident and Punk reportedly has no issues with Omega.
Henry continued by saying, "The top 100 wrestlers of all time, they're halfway on it. CM Punk and Kenny Omega are in the top 40 of all time. People don't realize, you go to the NFL, look up the top 100 football players, see who is in the top 40. It will blow your mind. Same thing with any other sport. I'd like to see the top 100 baseball players and see who is the top 40. It's nothing to sneeze at. I believe in both of those guys being great competitors and I feel they have a lot left, multiple years. Kenny Omega just signed a new deal. He's going to be around another four years."
Punk recently took shots at Hangman Page in a post-show promo on AEW Collision. During his AEW All Out 2022 media scrum, he made comments regarding The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson), Hangman, and Omega.
