#4. KENTA could return to AEW to challenge CM Punk
NJPW star KENTA, formerly known as Hideo Itami in WWE, recently teased confronting CM Punk at AEW Revolution 2022.
The Straight Edge Superstar's rematch with MJF on the March 6th pay-per-view was seemingly confirmed on last week's Dynamite, where Punk laid down a challenge for a Dog Collar match. The match will indeed be a marquee attraction at Revolution 2022, and the stipulation promises to make it a brutal encounter.
Immediately following The Second City Saint's promo on AEW Dynamite, KENTA took to Twitter to write that he would be in Orlando on March 6th and that he could put someone to "sleep."
For those unaware, both CM Punk and KENTA have the same finishing maneuver, Go To Sleep. It is worth noting that the two performers never crossed paths despite being in the business for so many years. It'll be interesting to see if KENTA's latest tweet adds up to anything concrete.
Considering AEW has a working relationship with NJPW, and KENTA was one of the first performers to walk through the "forbidden door," it wouldn't be surprising to see him show up again to challenge CM Punk.
#3. Former TNT Champion Miro could return to AEW
Former TNT champion Miro has been absent on AEW television for a while. It's a shame as his Redeemer gimmick was consistently the most entertaining thing on Dynamite, and he certainly brought prestige to the TNT championship when he held it for the majority of 2021.
Most fans thought he would take the next step and challenge for the world title. Instead, he disappeared entirely from our screens as recent vignettes showed that he was lost in the void.
Miro needs to return as soon as possible or risk fading into obscurity. Could he be the next challenger for Hangman Page? It would be a great moment if he appeared at the end of Revolution and revealed his intentions to the Cowboy.
