5 former WWE stars in AEW CM Punk has never faced

#4 Former WWE NXT Champion Malakai Black

Malakai Black recently defeated Cody Rhodes in his All Elite Wrestling in-ring debut at AEW Dynamite: Homecoming

Former WWE Superstar Malakai Black has quickly established himself as one of the most unique characters in All Elite Wrestling.

After being released by WWE in June, Black made his shocking AEW debut at AEW Dynamite: Road Rager in July. Black attacked Arn Anderson and Cody Rhodes, quickly cementing himself as a top heel in AEW.

The former WWE NXT Champion followed this with a dominant AEW in-ring debut at AEW Dynamite: Homecoming. He destroyed Cody Rhodes and pinned him with just a foot on the chest.

Malakai Black and CM Punk have very similar in-ring styles and backgrounds. Both profess a love for heavy metal and punk music. They also incorporate a lot of strikes and stiff kicks into their in-ring offense.

A first time ever bout between CM Punk and Malakai Black would no doubt be a dream match.

#3. Former WWE Cruiserweight Champion PAC

PAC is set to face off against Andrade El Idolo at the upcoming All Out pay-per-view on September 5, 2021

PAC was one of the top signings for All Elite Wrestling when the promotion was first launched in January 2019.

Since then, PAC has defeated the likes of Kenny Omega, Darby Allin, Hangman Page and Orange Cassidy during his AEW career. The former WWE Cruiserweight Champion is currently the leader of the Death Triangle faction along with Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix.

PAC was signed to WWE whilst CM Punk was under contract with the company. However, whilst Punk competed on the main roster, PAC was competing in the developmental NXT brand.

By the time PAC was called up to the main roster in 2015, Punk had already departed the company. Therefore, he and CM Punk have never faced off before. A match between two well respected and established veterans of the squared circle is something everyone would like to see.

Now that CM Punk is All Elite, it just might be possible that we see Punk vs PAC for the first time soon.
