The first name that comes to mind when fans think of CM Punk in All Elite Wrestling has to be the current AEW World Champion Kenny Omega. The Cleaner has reigned as the top star in the promotion ever since the December 2nd AEW Dynamite special, Winter Is Coming. He didn't stop there with his dominance over the wrestling world.

Kenny Omega would venture over to IMPACT Wrestling and defeat Rich Swann to win the IMPACT World Championship at Rebellion 2021. He now holds the AEW, IMPACT and AAA Mega Championships. Omega has firmly established himself as The Belt Collector with a run that has been unrivaled in the business for quite some time.

Another moniker that has been bestowed upon Kenny Omega has been The Best In The World, which should draw the ire of CM Punk. For years, that is what Punk was known for from his time on the independent scene all the way to the top of WWE. This title and honor would be the catalyst for a dream match for the ages that has been talked about by both men.

In many interviews over the years, CM Punk has named Kenny Omega as a dream opponent. Omega's stellar run in NJPW was the stuff of legend and made him a bonafide superstar in the industry. His success, alongside The Young Bucks, led to the creation of All Elite Wrestling. Cody Rhodes and the three men helped put together the All In event, which was a launching point for AEW.

In my opinion @KennyOmegamanX is the best wrestler in the world today. Others may feel differently, but I’ve been in the ring w everybody currently working on top & there’s nobody close. Thats why Kenny is @AEW Champ-the most protected title in the biz. It’s Impossible to argue.

AEW has been known for being an alternative and a competitor to WWE since its inception. Many fans believe the essence of the promotion is that of "anti-authority," which is something that has defined CM Punk throughout his career. That anti-authority nature made CM Punk one of the most popular stars in wrestling.

There are so many elements in play that make CM Punk vs Kenny Omega an all-time classic in the making. The battle of "Best In The World" and who is truly responsible for AEW's existence are just the tip of the iceberg in a lot of ways. There are so many avenues to explore with these two men that make this the money matchup.

CM Punk in AEW has fans excited in a way that hasn't been seen too many times in the business. It seems like the perfect marriage of sorts. There are plenty of dream matches not mentioned here that would make fans become regular viewers of the product. However, there is none as huge as CM Punk vs. Kenny Omega and that is why it is the best dream match for Punk in All Elite Wrestling.
